Into the Wild.
written by Julie R. Neidlinger 1 comments link this postI got a phone call a week or so ago, from a photo editor of Men's Journal. She wanted to know where I found the photo of Chris McCandless that I used in an earlier post because they were working on an article about his story to coincide with the upcoming movie. I told her I didn't know, and that I couldn't help her find out who owned the copyright to the photo. I was mildly surprised since I thought she'd know the story of McCandless; I assumed that since it is a photo of him in front of the bus up in Alaska (where he was alone before he died) that it was off of his camera and would, therefore, be the property of his family. But I never said anything.
That early post of mine is one of those unusual posts that never really sink into oblivion here on this blog. I still get emails from people over it, and have had a college out on the east coast link to it and reference it for online students for a class. For me, what I wrote then, I still hold to today. That is also unusual.
The story of McCandless doesn't go away.

I have to admit that I never knew about Chris McCandless until I got the album The Speed of Trees by Ellis Paul. He has a song titled "The Ballad of Chris McCandless" that was always on of my favourites. It inspired me to a little searching on the internet to find out more about his story.
Thanks for posting about the movie. I'll be looking out for more information on its release!
