last one leaving, please turn out the light
Toronto. We were sorry to hear that we lost another magazine recently. PetaPixel carried an article on February 12, 2021 by Jaron Schneider titled, “Canadian Magazine Photo Life Has Shipped its Final Issue“.
Photo Life was around for many years and this past March it fell victim to declining sales during the pandemic that ravaged the world since late 2019.
It is unfortunate as we have all too few periodicals that carry stories with a Canadian perspective. Living next door to a powerful neighbour does have many advantages, but it also has disadvantages too. Our stories and accomplishments are so often drowned out by the loud commercial noises next door … Our late editor, Bob Lansdale, spent many years promoting a Canadian perspective on the photographic industry without trying to diminish the very real accomplishments of our brethren to the south.
Good bye, Photo Life!
Note: I chose Queen’s song of the same title for the title of this post.
