00:04I'm Zoe Best, a photojournalist. I'm working on a book my publisher sent me
00:09out here. A book on Yosemite? I'm taking photos of Park as it is today. This place
00:14is a photographer's dream. It really is. You looking for a guide? As a matter of
00:19fact, I am. I think I might know someone who can help you. Jack Hawkins. But he's
00:23sort of off the grid. I'll give you five days. I'll take you where you need to go.
00:28You'll snap your photos. You'll head back to Chicago and never come back again.
00:32Huh. What a charming proposal. Jack was insufferable. Yeah, he could be a little
00:37testy. But if he can get his attention, he knows Yosemite better than anyone.
00:41Is this where I go from being a city girl to a mountain girl?
00:45Something like that. I just want an image that soars. You handle those cameras
00:50pretty well, but your photos just don't tell the whole story. What do you mean?
00:54My family goes way back. 4,000 years. Maybe your book can also
00:58tell our story. Do you ever collaborate with other writers?
01:01I'm not big on collaboration. I've never seen anything like it.
01:06There's a harmony to this place, and our job is to protect it.
01:09Sometimes Mother Nature shows off. She's putting on quite the show.
01:14Where's the book heading? I'm not sure.
01:16You made bacon and eggs? How are you not married?
01:20Don't forget your deadline. I write as a scientist, and you write as a journalist.
01:23This might work out. You got yourself a partner.
01:27I still need that one photo. I need more time.
01:31We're in different worlds, Zoe. What happened to Jack?
01:33Creative differences.
01:36I looked into your eyes, and it was like looking into your soul.
01:39Like knowing if we're together, the world is a better place.
01:43I'm seeing the park through your eyes, and I love it.
01:46I wish I could preserve this moment forever.
