Once upon a time there was a Little House, a tiny house with two other houses in and around Yaletown Vancouver Canada.
It turns out that when I took on this personal project to photograph the Landscape of the City Of Lights, Vancouver, I found myself on one occasion at a unique and undisclosed secluded high vantage point, I was stumped when I looked through my Nikkor lens to see this little house in a bath of golden glow of gold yellow light that looked like a story tale with the destruction machines already there to take Her down. Her expression got me!
As I looked around I saw She was Queen of All in the Land of the City Of Lights in an example of what had happened, the urban concrete jungle.
I wondered!
I took the shot with several attempts due to the (very high) height I was at with every vibration that was recording up the tripod legs into the camera sensor.
I steadied myself several times so as not to fall. The story goes that the City of Vancouver declared the site and the Houses a Historical site and the house and two sister houses were saved.

... It occurs to me then, that something which brings the voyeur and the nocturne (night-piece) together is light, or at least, something to break the depths of darkness, even if it is only a flicker."

Amyn Nasser’s Voyeur Nocturne body of work is the result of a ten-month project exploring Vancouver’s high-rise jungle from unknown perspectives. His concept of exploring the essence of Vancouver at night through colour, contour, and light has produced a series of exceptional architectural photographs. Warm, metallic colours that range from glistening gold to silvery platinum to shimmering bronze are characteristic of Nasser’s work. Though shot from afar, the city’s silhouette is bathed in a harmonic light and emits a welcoming warmth, inviting us to linger the way a lit window does a silent observer.
Amyn Nasser’s work is more than a mere tribute to the beauty of his adopted hometown. They can also be interpreted as a critical reflection of a society in which the boundaries between private and public have become fluid. Having already published spreads in Vogue and Harper’s Bazaar as a fashion photographer, Nasser has won countless prizes...
