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

More Claychella Coverage

So okay I've severely neglected this blog all week but now I'm back and vowing to stay on top of things for a little while. We'll see how that goes.

I've already posted my photos from Claychella which went down last weekend, but there are plenty more photos out there. Ryan Mitchell was on hand doing a photo booth for most of the day until things got a little crazy and he had to get his equipment out of the building before it got destroyed. You can see his shots, if you have not already, over at his website or right here below.

Also in the building was our pal Matt Reeves from rival Chicago photo blog darkroomdemons. I'm glad he was around to get some solid candids because I was both too busy and too drunk to properly do it myself. You can see his shots over at their website or peep a few below.

And finally, the following people get stars for their efforts of staying at Claychella for the entire 12 hours. If I've forgotten your name please let me know and tell me how many hours you clocked!
