The English Surgeon

A good documentary does more to stimulate my mind than the best fictional films. The English Surgeon is above and beyond a spectacular documentary. Most scriptwriters couldn't dare compete with the sheer drama and uncomfortable tension filmmaker Geoffrey Smith captures in his real-life story of English neurosurgeon Henry Marsh, who became fed up with the inability of Ukrainian doctors to treat patients in need of brain operations and decided to do something about it. When a young Ukrainian man needs an operation to remove a tumor in his brain, Doctor Smith is his only hope for long-term survival. Unfortunately for this patient, modern luxuries are nowhere to be found in modern-day Ukraine and the only the way the operation can move forward is by using nothing but local anesthetics to reduce the pain of drilling thru the scull and scraping away the cancerous cells growing on his brain--In other words, doing the entire operation while completely awake and conscious. Beyond the unbelievable situations throughout the film, the simple message of humanitarianism shines.  In today's consumerist smorgasbord of a world we live in, it can be easy to forget the simple things that make being a fellow human being a rewarding experience. This film helps remind us. -Clayton Hauck

befian from hong kong





While out in Asia I looked up my old modelmayhem account password and looked to see if there were any models in Hong Kong who might want to shoot some photos.  Befian replied and we got together one day and hung out and did some photos.  It was totally spontaneous, nothing planned.  We got a bit of a late start so we didn't shoot a ton, but there are a few frames I liked.

Everything was shot on my 5D with either the 50mm f/1.4 or the 17-40mm f/4.5 along with two flashes (one on camera 220ex and an off camera with a Wein optical sensor to sync it).

<p>Ohh, I really like the headshots! I love the absent glance in the b/w one.
On a more girly note... I'm totally taking a printout of one of these frames the next time I go to the hairdresser. Love her haircut!
