Last summer I took my annual photography trip through Jasper, Alberta with my mom.  Over the years, she has developed an interest in photography and decided to join me.  Needless to say, as fate would have it, the trip ended up being almost a complete bust.  Completely grey skies with no cloud texture, pouring rain, and strong wind.

We stuck it out though, waiting for an opportune moment.  The Future’s End was taken at one of those moments.  We had been driving around looking for an interesting subject.  As I drove along the highway, we noticed the majestic mountains in the distance and a stream that led our eyes to it.  I parked the car safely along the side of the road and we proceeded to climb down a slight hill, through tall grass threatening to trip us up.  The mosquitoes were out in full force, with more and more appearing as we disturbed their hiding places in the grass.  They threatened to eat us alive.

We set our cameras up along the side of the hill and spent about an hour and a half shooting the scene.  We probably would have stayed longer if it hadn’t started to pour rain again.   We quickly packed up our gear as the wind whipped through our hair and made a mad dash for the car.  I guess it just goes to prove that even when the weather doesn’t cooperate, perserverence always wins out.

For the rest of this month, The Future’s End is being offered at 50% off in the D-Roc Photography and Design shop.  Take the time to check it out along with the other prints we’ve got to offer.
