My dear friend, @byronsmitty, just published a monograph of his incredible pictures, titled Testament ’22. Chronicling the Ukraine war with empathy and courage, Byron has, I think, created the strongest body of work from an intensely difficult battlefield. Respect. Head to his bio to buy, which you must.

Spent days planning and a full night photographing with @chaseing.dreams and @orchardstreetrunners for this one. Wasn’t sure if we had it in the can until someone, apparently hiding behind a billboard high above, threw a bottle of vodka at us at about 2 am in Times Square.
