It's been a while - how are you doing?

Took a trip to Calgary Zoo this weekend to see the polar bears. Didn’t get a picture good enough to do it justice but did manage to capture the lively wolves, big horned sheep and the red pandas

I've been very quiet for most of 2023. Since closing up the shop in May I've been very quiet here - and for a couple of reasons! I started post-graduate school this Fall, and have had little time available for photography.

Aside from taking my camera with me when heading for walks, I hadn't done much photography since heading to Hawaii last January, except for a day in the Canadian Rockies in June 2023.

And this was one of my biggest rookie mistakes ever. As always, I imported my pictures after the day, and even sent a few sample shots to people. Then I formatted my memory card for my next trip out.

Two weeks later I came to edit my shots, and realized I'd managed to import the pictures back to the memory card I'd formatted... I was really excited about the pictures so naturally felt quite deflated to lose pictures I was looking forward to seeing.

I feared I lost them all, but after a few months -and thanks to a chance discussion on another Social Media app - I decided to try to recover the pictures. And got all but 1 back!

I've spent a couple days reviewing the pictures and submitting to Canadian Geographic's 2023 Canadian Photo of the Year competition. Entries are super high quality so not expecting anything, but the experience of picking out pictures is the best part for me!

Wishing you all the best for 2024!

Well folks, in just under 2 hours I’ll be closing the shop portion of the cmroachphotography.ca website. And what better way to close this chapter with a gorgeous sunset on Lake Manitoba, Canada.

For all my adult life I’ve dreamed of setting up a photography shop, but always told myself I wasn’t enough.

And 2.5 years ago I finally decided I was enough, and I did it!

Since eventually opening the shop in March 2021 I’ve made loads of new friends and had a fabulous time, but due to rising costs and competing life / time demands it’s time for the sun to set on the shop. At least for the foreseeable future, if not longer.

But - that doesn’t mean that the website and my social media channels will go quiet. Quite the opposite!

I’m just going back to shooting for fun, not for a business.

A new cmroachphotography.ca site will drop in the next week or so. Just without a sales portion.

And now time for some thanks!

Thanks to everyone who has a print hanging on their walls & thanks to everyone who thought enough about my pictures to give them as gifts.

Each time someone feels that my photography should grace a wall, it makes me very happy!

Thanks to everyone who has followed - and continue to follow - updates on Social Media. Thanks to all of your words of encouragement & promotion amongst your friends to help this grow. Thanks to everyone who even looked at one of my pictures. Much love to you all.

But time for one final thanks.

Huge thanks and appreciation to my wife Pam Roach, who has supported me and encouraged me to be my best. To give it a shot, and shoot for the stars. Eternally grateful for all of her belief in this dream.

We did it!
