"Heaven and Hell" : My 2022 Photo of the Year from Russia's full scale invasion of Ukraine
This was taken in North Saltivka (Kharkiv) Ukraine on May 15, 2022.
Living alone in North Saltivka exposed me to many unfathomable horrors, however it also created signicant photo opportunities.
Out of the thousands of photos I took in the last 10 months, this one has always haunted me, while at the same time giving me tremendous hope.
“Heaven and Hell.”

The first Kharkiv counter offensive had pushed the occupiers away from the city’s ring road, and into the countryside. On the day the photo was taken an area was just opened for shop owners to return to for the first time in months. As I accompanied them around my neighborhood, I saw a burn out car just off the main road, and it led me to this Russian rocket.
I’ve posted the coordinates below in order to show what types of neighborhoods the Kremlin regime targeted.
