Golden Hour

Connect with the land, the wildlife, and the incredible spirit of the North.
Tony Eetak 16 Jun 2025
Just look at that sun! It's like someone poured liquid gold across the open water of Hudson Bay. The light just dances on the gentle waves, stretching all the way to forever. In moments like this, everything feels peaceful, expansive, and utterly, breathtakingly beautiful.

Every Picture Tells Our Story

You know that feeling when summer finally, truly arrives? That’s what it’s like here in Arviat right now. The sun feels amazing on my face as I wander along the coast, and you can practically hear the land breathing a sigh of relief. The sea ice has just gone, and the air is starting to hum with that unmistakable summer energy. Honestly, it’s just one of those perfect days you want to bottle up. This summer, we’re really trying to soak it all in, capturing little bits of magic everywhere we look – on the land, right here under our feet, and out on the water.

Every single photo we take feels like a tiny piece of a larger story. It’s the story of this incredible place waking up after the long, quiet winter. It’s very different from the sounds of the city, where we spend much of our time. Here, it’s about the life that just bursts forth, and about all the wonderful people who call this unique corner of the world home.

The Art of Data

The Arts Incubator - Winnipeg 15 Jan 2026
Our commitment to an Open Access model was built on a simple belief: stories this important shouldn't be locked behind a paywall. Because we chose to remove those barriers, our books aren't just "available"—they are everywhere. We have successfully moved from a local initiative to a global cultural export, with our titles now sitting on digital shelves in over 426 locations worldwide.
