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

Don Julio at Crobar.. eek?

The past few weeks I've taken any job offer that has come my way and while it's been good on the wallet, it's put me in a lot of places I would not normally hang out in or shoot at. While Crobar or Crimson Lounge are not the worst places in the world, they are far from where I'd prefer to be shooting.  I think a big facor is that the people in these places tend to be more image-conscious, older and perhaps even less creative-minded, which sort of restricts my photo taking possibilities.  I want things to get sloppy and awkward and out of control.

Anyway, so here I am at Crobar. There was a killer snow storm all day long and no more than a dozen people even showed up for a few hours into the event. It finally got swinging around midnight or so and by that time we were fairly drunk on the surprisingly good tequila, which I am not normally a fan of.

The party was a B96 show afterparty and some fairly well-known dudes were in the building, though I don't remember the names of any of them haha. Kevin Rudolf and Kanye's manager yada yada yada.
