About Sambr

Today I discovered that our friend @Sambr , Sam Bruno, has passed. We were all privileged to get to know him here and see his beautiful work. His love of nature and wildlife was apparent in his photos, some of which you can view here: Sambr

It was Sam's wish that his photos on the site be taken down because his wife will be putting together a book of his work. I intend to honor his wish, but also would like to put up a link in its place to where people can donate to have the book made, and eventually purchase it. I will be contacting his family to run this idea by them.

He will be greatly missed. RIP Sam.

This is really sad news.

RIP Sam!

Sorry to hear this.
Glad to hear that his work will be remembered by way of a book.
RIP

Oh man, that is so, so sad. May his rest in peace and my condolence to his family.

Looking through his pictures he could really get the skin tones right.

RIP

Oh man, I am speechless. He will be missed dearly and so will his photographs. Please keep us updated on the details when you get them.

That is dreadful news. I was beginning to wonder why I had not seen any posts from him in a while. May he forever rest in God's peace.

Here we can read about Sam.

Wow. Sorry to read this. I really enjoyed his work. He will be missed. Please keep us updated about donating and the book.

So sorry to hear about our fellow Nikonite

Very sad news. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.

Sam Bruno was a great photographer. He had a passion for wildlife photography and it showed in his work. He lived in Kamloops, British Columbia, and was an avid outdoorsman. I had the privilege of talking with him by phone last summer, and he told me of his fight with cancer. I am saddened by the news of his passing. He will be sorely missed by all Nikonites who knew him.

R.I.P. Sam
