grizzly man
he would often tells the animals, 'i love you.'
100+ hours of raw film show an un-armed man stroking the backs
of grown foxes, and nudging the noses of 9ft tall grizzy bears.
completely and inexplicably devoted to what he calls protecting the
bears he grew so fond of, loved, and eventually died for, its no wonder
some suggest when it came these giant creatures, timothy treadwell met his match. even at the time of his death, in an unreleased audio taping of his tragic demise at the teeth of one particular bear, timothy still screams to "run away," begging his then (late) girlfriend to stop striking at the animal
as it sank its teeth and ripped them apart over the course of just six minutes.
for 13 summers, deep in the alaskan peninsula, this man and so many others
risked their lives and died alone in the wilderness, defending their values and
basking on the slippery slope of hope they would make it out of the bush alive.
unfortunately, he was not so lucky. i sat quietly tonight remembering his sad tale and revisiting my own experience in the cold frigid winds of Ketchikan, Alaska...thinking to myself..well, what a lucky dude. hopefully one day i can see some of the things he's seen.
pictured here is the last known photograph of timothy and his
girlfriend amie during his last year in alaska.

hello ron
'...Alex here. ..So many people live within unhappy circumstances and yet will not take the initiative to change their situation because they are conditioned to a life of security, conformity, and conservatism, all of which may appear to give one peace of mind, but in reality nothing is more damaging to the basic core of a man's living spirit in his passion for adventure. The joy of life comes from encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun. '
