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

Pitchfork Photos

I realize Pitchfork happened last weekend and nobody cares about photos from last weekend, but ya know, I shot the fest on assignment for the Chicago Reader and it's never cool to scoop your own client by posting photos before they do. Since they didn't run til Thursday, it wasn't such a big deal to put it off a few more days. On that note, you can see a few of them in the paper (but ehh, they only ran a couple lesser favorites actually, I don't know where that came from it looks pretty good!) or also on their blog. Oh, but of course, you can find them ALL via the links below!

Winter Music Conference pt2

Flosstradamus was easily the best dressed this year with their faux ed hardy get-ups. The final party of the conference was an epic collab between iheartcomix, mad decent, turntable lab, trouble & bass & hamburger eyes set at this gallery space near downtown Miami. The party was scheduled to go until 6am, the exact time my flight was set to depart Miami International Airport. Of course, this was the recipe for disaster. I ended up making it to the airport on time but dozed off at my gate, only to awake to an empty gate 5 minutes after my flight had left. I was super bummed nobody thought to wake me and even more worried I would never make it home, considering every flight out of town was booked solid for days to come. Long story short, the airport gods were on my side this day and US Airways hooked it up with a flight home later that day and a little cherry on the cake as well. Anyway, click the thumbs below to see all the photo madness including a party cameo from Lil Jon!

Texas Nightclub (Mad Decent)

The second night at the Texas Nightclub was even crazier than the first night! Along with the already packed lineup, a ton of familiar faces rolled thru the "club" including an impromptu mini-set from Kid Cudi. Rumors had it Kanye West was in the building as well although I didn't see him myself. And of course, anyone who stuck around til the bitter end was treated with quite a show from Nick Catchdubs, only it wasn't on the turntables... Sorry for posting these shots Nick! Love you!

Oh and of course, who needs to see hot girls naked over on lastnightsparty when you get to see a bunch of dudes' bellies here at everyoneisfamous?
