Erin Yewsiuk Photography

To me, photography is an art of observation. It's about finding something interesting in an ordinary place... I've found it has little to do with the things you see and everything to do with the way you see them.

Elliott Erwitt

Optimist noun : a person who is inclined to be hopeful and to expect good outcomes : someone who is given to optimism.

Farmers and ranchers are eternal optimists. Their livelihood depends on it; almost as much as they depend on a timely rain.

With costs of production on the rise, market instability, unpredictable weather, and many more factors beyond their control, a career of putting food on others' tables often leaves little time to tend to one's self.

While the job may come with a view, it can be an isolating one. SaskAgMatters is working to bridge that gap, to offer producers mental health resources to those in need. SaskAgMatters is a unique, non-profit organization, ran by volunteers and operating on private donations. Once again this year, the proceeds from the 2027 Next Year Country Calendar will be going to this worthy cause; to offer support to those who work in seasons and get paid by the pound rather than the hour.

As the saying goes, "if you ate today, thank a farmer". Show your gratitude today by ordering your copy.

A lover of ordinary, I draw inspiration from the simplest of details in the world around me. The goodness of natural light, richness of color in nature, and genuine emotion are what motivates me to keep picking up my camera almost two decades from where this all began.
