Andy Beaver’s intimate connection to the land and scenery around him began in his home community of Nibinamik First Nation. In describing his favourite photo, he says, “There was a forest fire a few years back. It was dark outside, and I had my camera. You could hear the flames raging in the night and the northern lights were visible overhead. Just this huge green band over the fire. It only lasted a few seconds, and I snapped the shot.”
