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

LA Riots at Abbey Pub

I was out of town all week so I never got around to posting these shots from Abbey Pub, but here they are! I've been trying to focus on solid lighting of late when I do make it out to shoot parties. I basically don't have the time or energy to shoot 4-12 parties a week like I used to, so when I do make it out, quality is priority. As you can tell if you know a thing or two about photography, I used a few stationary strobes for a good deal of these photos. They go a long way in rounding out the light if you can manage to get them into a venue and set them up in a spot where they are not likely to get broken or stolen.
