Tulku: The art of Transformation. Karla Refojo, the founder of Tulku Jewels, commissioned me to film the genesis of her sacred amulets created in Kathmandu, Nepal. Her intention was to show to her clients that these sacred amulets weren't mechanically machine-produced in a factory. Rather, they are caringly hand-crafted by the Nepalese Newar artists: with heart, skill, and devotion.

I'm Down With You: An Inspired Journey. My friend Jagatjoti handed me a bag of tapes that somebody filmed at his photo shoot and asked me: "Can you do anything with these?"

The filming is currently underway.
The photography book was published in August 2010.
