< Back Life's Unexpected Turns: My Journey Through Injury and Recovery May 4, 2024 Dre Erwin It's been a while since I've shared an update, and I wanted to take a moment to explain why. Recently, I experienced a significant setback when I ruptured my bicep and required urgent surgery. It was a sudden and unexpected turn of events that left me reeling, both physically and emotionally. As someone deeply passionate about photography, facing the prospect of being sidelined from my creative pursuits was incredibly daunting. However, as I navigated through the challenges of surgery and recovery, I found solace and strength in unexpected places. The journey has been anything but easy, but it's also been incredibly enlightening. It's reminded me of the resilience of the human spirit and the importance of perseverance in the face of adversity. Through it all, I've discovered a newfound appreciation for the simple moments of beauty that surround us every day. While my photography may have taken a temporary pause, my passion for capturing the essence of life remains unwavering. In fact, this experience has only fueled my determination to return to my craft with renewed vigor and creativity. I want to express my deepest gratitude to each and every one of you for your continued support and encouragement throughout this journey. Your messages of kindness and well wishes have been a source of immense comfort and motivation. As I continue along the path of recovery, I look forward to sharing more of my photography adventures with you in the near future. Until then, let's embrace each moment with gratitude and resilience, knowing that even in our darkest moments, there is always light to guide us forward. With warm regards, Dre Previous Next

< Back Finding Happiness Through the Lens Jun 7, 2022 The Inspiring Journey of a Pinehouse Boy from Grief to Hope With the collaboration of young individuals in the community, Dre Erwin, a primary care nurse, crafted a book that serves as a beacon for raising awareness about mental health and suicide in northern Saskatchewan, while highlighting the therapeutic potential of photography. "The Little Boy who Found Happiness, in the Most Unusual Place" soared to the number one spot on Amazon shortly after its release on September 3. Erwin, who has witnessed the profound effects of depression in his role as a nurse in an isolated community, was spurred by the widespread issue and the limited resources available in northern areas. He was inspired to take action, stating, "I felt it was my duty to do more, to find ways to prevent it, and help the youth in other communities." In 2016, Erwin initiated a therapeutic photography club, which proved to be highly beneficial. The positive impact of the club prompted him to embark on writing a book. It was only natural to involve the youth in this project. "The youth wanted something engaging, something like an anime," Erwin said. He collaborated with a ten-year-old from the community who created the lead character, and a dozen more young contributors provided illustrations and photographs used as backgrounds in the book. Erwin's commitment to inclusivity extended to the translation of the story into Cree, thanks to Cree teacher Alfred Tinker from Pinehouse. This addition not only elevates the book's cultural significance but also provides an opportunity for language learning. Erwin's photography page on Facebook caught the attention of a professional editor who generously offered their expertise in editing the book for free. Moreover, Dre Erwin established the Canadian Photo Health Authority, an umbrella organization that has now forged connections across Canada. His vision is to foster better communication and share positive messages through this platform. Erwin is a strong advocate for therapeutic photography, emphasizing that anyone with a cell phone can partake in this therapeutic activity. Through the book, he aims to illustrate how this can be achieved in any community, encouraging individuals to contemplate the emotions and thoughts associated with their photographs and the impact they want to convey to others.

< Back Dazzling Northern Lights to Shine Brightest in Three Decades, Scientists Predict Oct 19, 2023 A surge in sunspot observations, a significant determinant of this celestial spectacle, has been noted since 2022. Anticipated to be the most intense in three decades, the northern lights are set to dazzle the night skies with unprecedented brilliance. Scientists are forecasting that if this trend continues, the forthcoming 18 months will usher in the most robust northern lights display seen in years. In the coming 18 months, the northern lights will grace our planet with more frequent and widespread appearances than they have in the past two decades, and the expectation extends even into the next ten years, according to experts interviewed by NBC News. The Solar Cycle 25 Prediction Panel, an international consortium of scientists backed by NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), initially projected a year of sunspot activity below the average, with a peak of 110 to 115 sunspots. However, revised models from multiple scientific sources indicate that sunspots may surge as high as 235. This surge in solar activity is anticipated to be on a steady incline until the autumn of 2024, which is believed to be the prime period for witnessing the northern lights, as confirmed by Mark Miesch, a research scientist affiliated with the University of Colorado Boulder and NOAA. The aurora borealis, renowned as the northern lights, manifests as a natural luminous phenomenon in regions of high latitude, particularly those near the Earth's polar regions. These mesmerizing displays are most frequently observed in countries like Norway, Sweden, Finland, Iceland, and Canada. Recent sightings of the northern lights extended as far south as Minnesota and Wisconsin. Mark Miesch noted that "when there's a significant disturbance in the magnetic field, there is a higher likelihood of witnessing auroras at lower latitudes." This development is poised to nearly double the chances of encountering the northern lights in the days to come. The northern lights phenomenon is generated by the interaction of charged solar particles with the Earth's magnetosphere, an area significantly influenced by the Earth's magnetic field. This collision results in the emission of energy in the form of luminous particles, forming the breathtaking visual spectacles avidly pursued by sky watchers. Learn more about it here. Previous Next

< Back Life is Like a Camera... Dec 28, 2023 Dre Erwin Focus on what's important, capture the good times, develop from the negatives, and if things don't work out, take another shot. What you focus on expands, so aim your lens towards the positivity you seek, and watch how it shapes the picture of your life. This metaphor compares life to using a camera. It suggests that in life, one should concentrate on what truly matters, cherish the positive moments, learn from the challenging ones (the negatives), and if circumstances don't go as planned, try again just like taking another shot with a camera. The phrase "What you focus on expands" implies that where you direct your attention or energy tends to grow or become more prominent in your life. Therefore, the advice is to focus on the positive aspects you desire because that focus influences and shapes the overall quality and direction of your life. Previous Next

< Back Mindful Photography Walks: Healing Amidst Loss and Rediscovering Gratitude Jan 6, 2024 Dre Erwin Join us in our upcoming blog as we delve deeper into how these mindful photography walks in nature can serve as catalysts for healing, gratitude, and rediscovering the beauty that life has to offer Loss and sadness can cloud our perception, making it challenging to see the beauty that still surrounds us. However, there's a profound healing power in venturing out for a mindful photography walk, especially amidst nature's embrace. As we stroll through the forest, our smartphones transform into tools for focusing on the good in life. Engaging with our camera lenses prompts us to seek moments of beauty, allowing us to capture snippets of the world that resonate positively within us. In these moments of mindfulness, we pivot our attention toward the subtle wonders: the sunlight filtering through the canopy, the vibrant hues of flora, or the intricate details of the forest floor. It's a practice that transcends mere photography—it's a journey towards gratitude and appreciation. The law of attraction whispers that we attract what we focus on. When we use our phones' cameras to capture the goodness around us, we're actively requesting more of it. Through this intentional focus on gratitude, we invite more positivity into our lives.
