< Back Jonah Natomagan Cofounder Pinehouse Photography Club Jonah Natomagan, an inspiring young individual hailing from Pinehouse Lake, Saskatchewan, found solace and healing through therapeutic photography. Battling anxiety, depression, and a history of alcohol use, Jonah turned to the art of photography as a form of self-expression and emotional release. His journey began as a personal quest for mental well-being. The act of capturing the world through the lens became a therapeutic outlet for him, offering respite from the challenges he faced. But Jonah's story doesn't stop at personal transformation. With a heart full of compassion and a desire to uplift his community, he spearheaded the creation of the Pinehouse Photography Club. This club is more than a hobbyist's gathering. It's a haven for local youth, a place where they can explore photography as a tool for their mental health. Jonah's dedication to sharing his journey and expertise has inspired fellow young minds to pick up cameras, not only to document the world but to better understand themselves. The Pinehouse Photography Club offers a supportive space for youth to learn, experiment, and develop their photography skills. In doing so, Jonah Natomagan has not only found his own path to healing but has paved the way for others in Pinehouse Lake to do the same. His story is a testament to the power of self-discovery and community building, where therapeutic photography becomes a medium for personal growth and mental wellness. info@mysite.com 123-456-7890

Northern lights in Canada lonely tree in the middle of a lake in northern Saskatchewan - with the aurora dancing over head Northern lights in Canada Imagine yourself waking up in a maze. After hours of searching but not finding the exit, you come to the conclusion that you’re completely lost. Bummer maybe, but an opportunity for sure. Because with everything and everyone gone – there’s only one person that you can turn to. And that person is… you. You will find yourself, because being lost means there’s nothing else to focus on except yourself. You are the only person that’s with you 24/7. From the second you were born until your last breath, nobody spends more time with you, than you. For that reason, starting a really loving friendship with yourself is a really good idea. Yet, in life we don’t always connect that well with ourselves. We are so focused on the outside world, that it becomes the compass we live by. Until the moment we get lost and the outside world is no longer the beacon that we can hold on to. Then we can only hold on to ourselves. That’s what I mean with getting lost is a great way to find yourself.

Aurora Borealis Saskatoon Chasing the aurora borealis has become a passion of mine once I moved to northern Saskatchewan (Pinehouse Lake). After speaking with people who message me weekly on my Facebook page from around the world who had never had the opportunity to see the lights, I realized just how special it was to have grown up watching them dozens of times throughout my childhood. Saskatchewan is perfectly situated to experience some impressive showings of the northern lights. Running from the 49th to the 60th parallel of latitude, there is a high probability to see the lights during a geomagnetic storm.

It is sometimes known as wide format photography. The term has also been applied to a photograph that is cropped to a relatively wide aspect ratio, like the familiar letterbox format in wide-screen video. While there is no formal division between "wide-angle" and "panoramic" photography, "wide-angle" normally refers to a type of lens, but using this lens type does not necessarily make an image a panorama. An image made with an ultra wide-angle fisheye lens covering the normal film frame of 1:1.33 is not automatically considered to be a panorama. An image showing a field of view approximating, or greater than, that of the human eye – about 160° by 75° – may be termed panoramic. This generally means it has an aspect ratio of 2:1 or larger, the image being at least twice as wide as it is high. The resulting images take the form of a wide strip. Some panoramic images have aspect ratios of 4:1 and sometimes 10:1, covering fields of view of up to 360 degrees. Both the aspect ratio and coverage of field are important factors in defining a true panoramic image. In this situation I just took 3 photos and stitched them together using Lightroom.

Initially situated downstream on the Churchill River, its relocation was encouraged near the future site of the Island Falls Generating Station, eventually altering traditional lifestyles and shaping the community's growth. The transformation continued as the Island Falls Generating Station reshaped the region, leading to Sandy Bay's establishment as a Local Community Authority in 1965. However, with the station's switch to an automated system in 1966, employment opportunities dwindled. Subsequent developments, like the introduction of an all-weather road in 1967 and the designation as a northern village in the 1980s, brought necessary services but also shifted the community's economic focus toward tourism. Today, SaskPower oversees the dam's operations, now entirely automated. While the community sustains a local store, residents often access additional supplies and groceries in Flin Flon, Manitoba, reachable via a two-hour drive along gravel and paved highways.
