Hi everyone. It's been a long time since I've posted anything. I've been working on a few things, non of which I feel are ready to share. But, my good friend, Art Wolfe has been busy and does have a beautiful book he is just releasing - Wild Lives. As always Art's work is stunning. I am excited that he has partnered with Gregory Green who shares essays focusing on the why of wildlife conservation and recovery, discussing the redistribution of animals and their habitats dating all the way back to the Ice Age.
You can check it out at wild.artwolfe.com and if you feel you'd like to have a copy of this beautiful book you can use the code BORGES for a 10% discount. (Just in time for holiday gift giving?)

SheridanWorks offers courses in filmmaking. Some courses are offered regularly, and others based on interest. Be in touch if there is a course that you would like but that is not currently listed.

I was surprised and honored to be asked to be interviewed for the Podcast of Dentistry - in which we talked very little about dentistry. To give you a clue, this is what the host, Dr. Panks Dhingra, wrote: We talked about a lot of stuff and to be honest a lot of dense stuff, about his movie and topics like spirituality, psychosis, depression, happiness, psilocybin and what NOT. You will have to be open minded and you will be in a whole different world, a World we don’t know about.

We also discussed other wide range of topics like motivation, meaning and purpose of life and not to mention Tim-Ferriss’ Inspired questions

This is indeed a dense podcast and there is so much to learn from the whole conversation that you would want to listen to few parts of the podcast over and over again. http://podcastsofdentistry.com/category/podcast/
