Read More December 25, 2025 at 9:01:38 AM Breaking the Silence: Why We Chase the Light 🌌 People see my photos of the Aurora and they see beauty. But what they don’t always see is the impact. Over and over again, I have sat with youth in the North who have carried weights no child should bear. Repeatedly, I’ve had kids look at me and say the words they were too afraid to tell anyone else—about their struggles, their emotions, and their thoughts of suicide. In many cultures, we are taught to keep those feelings locked away. We are taught that silence is strength. I am here to tell you that silence is a lie. I know this because photography helped me first. It gave me a way to process the world when words weren't enough. Now, I see it happening in Sandy Bay and beyond. When these kids get behind a lens, they aren't just taking a picture; they are finding a way to speak. They are finding a reason to stay. Therapeutic Photography isn't just a hobby for me—it is a lifeline. If it can help me, and if it can help these kids find their voice after years of silence, it can help anyone. This Christmas, I’m in Regina for a moment, but my mission is louder than ever. We will not be silenced. We will keep using the light of the North to pierce the darkness of the unspoken. To the kids who think no one is listening: I see you. The light sees you. Keep holding on.

Dec 23, 2025 We are currently witnessing the most intense auroral activity in over two decades (that's what they are saying anyways) According to the NOAA Space Weather Prediction Center, Solar Cycle 25 is peaking right now, with high sunspot numbers and frequent X-class solar flares expected to continue through 2026. This "Solar Maximum" is a rare window where the Aurora Borealis is visible at mid-latitudes, including the northern United States, the UK, and Central Europe.

Delve into the revolutionary influence of registered nurses, doctors, and other healthcare professionals employing innovative methods in rural healthcare. Explore how their dedication and inventive solutions are reshaping healthcare in remote regions, empowering communities, and enhancing the well-being of the individuals they serve. < Back Frontline Innovations: Rural and Remote Healthcare Delve into the revolutionary influence of registered nurses, doctors, and other healthcare professionals employing innovative methods in rural healthcare. Explore how their dedication and inventive solutions are reshaping healthcare in remote regions, empowering communities, and enhancing the well-being of the individuals they serve. In the vast and remote regions, particularly within Métis and First Nations communities, the shortage of healthcare professionals, especially physicians, remains a significant challenge. Visits by such professionals are infrequent, often limited to just a few days each month. In this context, registered nurses who live and work within these local communities play an indispensable role. They not only provide vital healthcare services but also form profound bonds with community members, becoming an integral part of their extended families. These dedicated nurses go beyond medical care, bringing a deep understanding of the patient's unique cultural and social context to the forefront. This ensures that healthcare experiences are not only timely but also deeply personalized and effective. In response to the healthcare needs in these remote areas, registered nurses have embraced Advanced Authorized Practice (AAP). This expanded role empowers them to provide a wider range of healthcare services, addressing the diverse and unique needs of the communities they serve. It's a testament to their unwavering commitment, leadership, and the profound impact they have on the healthcare landscape in Canada's North. Moreover, tackling healthcare challenges in rural and remote areas often requires innovative thinking. Beyond traditional medical practices, healthcare professionals explore creative avenues, such as therapeutic photography, to offer holistic care. These unconventional approaches consider individuals' overall well-being, encompassing not only their physical health but also their mental and emotional needs. Thinking outside the box in healthcare is essential in these regions. It encourages the search for innovative solutions that truly make a meaningful difference in the lives of those served. By embracing approaches like therapeutic photography, healthcare continues to evolve and adapt, ensuring accessibility and effectiveness even in the most challenging environments. This balance between standardization and cultural sensitivity is vital for delivering quality care in remote communities where resources are scarce, and collaboration is key to effectiveness.

It's been a while since I've shared an update, and I wanted to take a moment to explain why. < 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
