most exciting news i've had in awhile!!!
In my research for my advanced photo presentation I came across this artist named Max Augilera-Hellweg. He shot a bunch of biological specimens and stuff (kind of like what I'm doing). But... after doing a series of photos in surgery he decided to become a doctor.
WHAT? That's like me! Kind of. But he's the only other photographer/doctor I can find ( Read more... )

I've seen his work before; he's very talented. I love his piece with the baby reaching out of his mother's womb. So beautiful.
I haven't thought of him in a long time, but his work is very inspiring.
You'll have to tell us all about your talk with him. :]
I know, for me, it's always amazing to talk with people that started BIG things with big ideas and hopes.
Last semester, I took a Sexuality course and, for a paper, I had to figure out a community group that had to do primarily with sex. (Which was surprisingly hard because SO MANY things wouldn't count. It couldn't be a club or something relating to sex. etc. etc. it had to be an organization just about sex). I chose ISWFACE, because I've always found the artwork that comes from their numbers fascinating and I think they have an interesting stance of prostitution. So I called up to their offices one day... and I talked to the founder! Norma-Jean Almodovar. This woman who sparked all this massive controversy. We talked for about an hour on the phone and really hit it off. And, I don't know, it was really cool to be acknowledged by someone so far off your radar.
So, in some way, I understand what you're talking about.
I really hope things go well. <3
(And, as a follow-up, Alexis got in contact with me. I thought you might want to know. :])
