Human nature compels us to observe and ponder our lives. People pause in moments of reflection yet dont necessarily record nor remember them. In this collection of short essays and black and white photographs, surgeon and award-winning photographer Michael Frimer shares, through words and images, a creative exploration and reflection of knowledge, family career and life itself. In BEYOND THE BOX, Frimer shares with the reader his quest for understanding and engagement with many artistic and intellectual pursuits. Frimers singular lens -- a dimension of seeing that informs his perspective -- gives the reader a glimpse into the mind of an extraordinary individual, ultimately encouraging us all to think more deeply.
