Winter's Path

About This Print

Winter's Path was captured at Mount Chephren in the Canadian Rockies at -35°C, cold enough to drain batteries mid-shoot, cold enough to make every step across the frozen lake a conscious decision. The ice groaned quietly underfoot the whole way. By the time James reached his composition the gear was already failing. The light that arrived with sunset that evening was worth every frozen finger, every battery swap, every moment of doubt about whether this was a reasonable thing to do. The best images almost always come from the moments you almost didn't go out. This is one of those images.

This is an open edition fine art landscape photography print, available on Hahnemühle German Etching 310gsm cotton rag paper, the same archival standard used by fine art galleries worldwide. Mount Chephren rises above Waterfowl Lake along the Icefields Parkway in Banff National Park, Alberta, one of the most remote and least visited viewpoints on one of the most dramatic drives in North America. Printed to collector grade, with deep winter tones and the particular quality of light that only arrives at the coldest hour of a winter evening. Open editions are not hand-signed or numbered and remain available in the shop indefinitely.
