Sexy green bandanna,
last take of the evening.
:40:04
I'm on my way to the creek.
I need to get water.
:40:06
And there's a super-duper low tide.
Full moon tonight, and action.
:40:10
In his action movie mode,
:40:12
Treadwell probably did not realize
:40:15
that seemingly empty moments
had a strange, secret beauty.
:40:20
Sometimes images themselves
developed their own life,
:40:24
their own mysterious stardom.
:40:39
Starsky and Hutch. Over.
:40:45
Beyond his posings,
:40:47
the camera was his only
present companion.
:40:51
It was his instrument to explore
the wilderness around him,
:40:55
but increasingly
it became something more.
:40:59
He started to scrutinize
his innermost being,
:41:02
his demons,
his exhilarations.
:41:06
Facing the lens of a camera took
on the quality of a confessional.
:41:14
Covering various years,
:41:16
the following samples illustrate
the search for himself.
:41:21
If there... I have no idea
if there's a God.
:41:24
But if there's a God, God would
be very, very... pleased with me.
:41:27
If he could just watch me here,
how much I love them,
:41:29
how much I adore them,
how respectful I am to them.
:41:33
How I am one of them.
:41:35
And how the studies they give me,
the photographs, the video...
:41:39
And take that around
for no charge
:41:41
to people around the world.
:41:44
It's good work. I feel good about it.
I feel good about myself doing it.
:41:48
And I want to continue, and I hope I can.
I really hope I can.
:41:52
But if not, be warned.
:41:55
I will die for these animals. I will die for
these animals. I will die for these animals.
:41:59
Thank you so much
for letting me do this.
