An afternoon at Bonham's


"Elizabeth Taylor doesn't make as much as Marilyn Monroe because she's still alive. Auctions do much better if the person dies young..." Was at Bonham's & Butterfields to help appraise some belongings of a dearly departed friend of mine.

If there was ever a place to experience the deep end of collector's with OCD, it would be here. I enter the room with my friend's belongings and there, sitting on the shelves, are some of Steve McQueen's personal artifacts.

Dr. Ho


This is an excerpt from a short documentary that I did on the amazing Dr. Ho. When I went to visit & spend time with him in a remote village outside of Lijiang, I had no idea what was in store. At 85 years old, Dr. Ho is a remarkable institution and a brilliant doctor. Filmed in the scenic backdrop of Yunnan Province, China in the fall of 2007.
