Autumn has well and truly fallen like a golden blanket over North Vancouver bringing with it captivating hues ranging from sunfire yellow to go-fast red and everything in between. In an attempt to immortalise what looks to be my first and only deciduous event in Canada I have been out for walks over the last couple of weekends to try and shoot some scenes which I think represent autumnal North Vancouver as seen through my perspective as an outsider.

So the other day, due to a set of not-so-complicated and thoroughly un-mysterious reasons that I won’t bother mentioning here, I found myself outside of my usual North Vancouver photographic playground and needing to kill an hour in the area of downtown Vancouver inhabited by the University of British Columbia. I had come prepared to spend the hour walking along the sea wall trying to seek out some shots of the Bay and it’s bridges. However I am quite prone to becoming distracted by things that capture my imagination and never completing my original goals. Good thing I’m not a certain 18th century British explorer as I’d probably have gotten as far as Cape Horn before being distracted by a brightly coloured bird, driving my flag into the nearest patch of dirt in the name of Her Majesty and then calling it a day.

I present to you the new SAMGABELL SHOOTS!
No longer just a viewing gallery for my photography portfolio this new site seeks to make life a lot simpler for the both of us by combining my unique ability to write 2,000 words without really saying anything and my passion for framing the world around me. This site will become the new landing page for everything I’m writing and shooting and as such my travel blog will be retired to the hallowed halls of my development archives and the domain will redirect here instead. Sad yes, but let’s not get too nostalgic, instead let’s look towards the future.
If your interested in finding out more details, including what my intentions for this new site are then please feel free to hit the ‘Read More’ link below.
If however you couldn’t think of anything more boring then hearing me talk about myself—you must be new around here—or about the frustrating results of having OCDD (Obsessive Compulsive Design Disorder) I instead invite you to browse some of my photography using this shiny orange portfolio link, or to explore the projects I have on the horizon using this equally colourful project link.
