Wreckage of electronic devices in the Control Center building of DUGA-1, also known as the Russian Woodpecker, a large radar installation near Chornobyl, was built during the Cold War. It played a crucial role in the Soviet early-warning radar system for ballistic missiles.

Today, on a particularly unique and personal note (and proud father promotion 😄), my son Maxim and the famed Angel Olsen released their version of Lou Reed’s “I Can’t Stand It” which will be a part of “The Power of the Heart: A Tribute to Lou Reed” album.

Vira, 68, remains a permanent resident of Chornobyl with her son. Together, they tend to a small farm consisting of 10 goats, 50 chickens, and 25 cats. In addition to her farming duties, she works at Chornobyl’s electric repair company.

For the first time in my life, I went to explore the magnificent tulip blooms in Holland on a stormy April day. Truly an awe-inspiring experience. #iphone #earthday #holland #tulips #flowers #netherlands #spring

Chornobyl Remembrance Day: 38 years ago today, Reactor #4 exploded, reshaping our world. The nuclear core's blast during a safety test displaced 250,000 & over 100,000 suffer illnesses linked to the disaster. It is the world's worst nuclear disaster. #chernobyl #fallout #nuclear

Though a few weeks late, I am happy to share photos from the celebratory book release event of BEUYS LAND together with writer Frank Mehring at the Museum Kurhaus Kleve in Kleve, Germany, the hometown of Joseph Beuys. #JosephBeuys #kleve #BEUYSLAND #Beuys

The culmination my most recent trip to Chornobyl occurred when I was finally given access to the interior of the dilapidated Reactor #4 on the very last day despite earlier assurances. #Chernobyl #Chornobyl #ExclusionZone #Reactor4

When I returned to the Chornobyl Exclusion Zone last year, I photographed forest regrowth near Lubyanka, hit by fire in 2020. Radiation levels had spiked 16-fold back then. Another fire just swept through 6,500 acres, but no radiation increase has been reported yet.

From my deck in LA, I watched the Bridge Fire spread across the San Bernardino Mountains, burning over 52,000 acres since September 8. With only 3% containment, evacuations are underway. Last week's 117°F record is a stark reminder of our urgent climate crisis. #BridgeFire
