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

bingo & karaoke in austin, texas

 

 

 

 

 


Scenes from Austin, Texas. September, 2009. I spent half a week in Austin in the middle of my Southern roadtrip. I love Austin. I didn't take a whole lot of photos while there, mostly just relaxed and hung out with some friends, however, one night we decided to play Bingo and thankfully I had my camera along for that. We made some friends at the Bingo hall and ended up heading to a karaoke spot after Bingo ended. Needless to say, we had a ton of fun. The last few photos are from the roads between Lockhart, the spot for BBQ in Texas, and San Antonio. The cat is a stranger's cat that my friend Isabel and I befriended and I fell in love with..

<p>I love this post to bits. Every single frame. It's so "Americana" and something I'm so not used to seeing around here. Fascinating. And well captured.</p>

<p>Suzan, thanks! My first thought in that bingo hall was "this is America!" Good to hear from you, it's been a while.. how are you these days?</p>

<p>really enjoyed this entry. i like the way you shoot portraits! and I have to agree with Suzan - for europeans it's a bit disturbing to see gun prohibition signs in a bingo hall. ;)</p>

<p>I really like you get in there with your photos. You are not just observing through a lens.. you are part of it.</p>
