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

Dimes & Dozens

7/17/2009 | Chicago: The dubfrequency dudes had me come out and take some photos at their epic party at Debonair after the first night of Pitchfork. The lineup was jam packed and both floors were bumpin'. I'm about to fall asleep at the computer so I will leave you with the photos and bid you adieu. And yes, the remainder of the Pitchfork photos are on the way.. In the meantime, be sure to check out the 2-page photo spread in this weeks Chicago Reader!

Rehab at evilOlive

Another Monday, another Rehab. What has surely become one of Chicago's most popular hipster weekly's this week celebrated the birthday of infamous promoter Derek Berry (haha). The lineup was solid and the shots were plentiful. DJs Yello Fever, Willy Joy, Zebo, Mark Gertz & Greg Corner hit the decks while Hollywood Holt filled in for the scheduled He Say, She Say who could not make it.

I've been tweaking my editing style of the nightlife shots lately.  Still a work in progress but I like the direction it's going.  Was more than satisfied with the crop of photos from this specific night!  Let me know what you think.  Leave comments!  That's one of the reasons I've been working on moving over to wordpress, after..

Yeah, like I said.. I liked a lot of them this time around!
