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

dallas faces

Faces from downtown Dallas, Texas. August 30, 2009. In the previous entry, I posted a bunch of photos from downtown Dallas. The images were mostly without people in them and focused on various buildings and textures. Since I was wandering around on a Sunday afternoon, there was a noticeable lack of people. These photos are of some of the people I did encounter in my explorations. Many of them were homeless. (via)

<p>it's always different. sometimes i approach them sometimes they initiate conversation with me. sometimes they say no sometimes they say yes. the key is to get over any sort of fears you have of talking to strangers and then just shoot, or ask!</p>
