Mariupol Print Sale Fundraiser
Mariupol Print Sale Fundraiser
The print sale has ended - thank you everyone for your incredible support. I’m still doing the math but we had 146 orders, some for multiple photos. You can still donate directly to the 24.02 Fund if you like.
====================================
Mariupol is one of my favorite Ukrainian cities. I’ve spent a lot of time there since 2014, and made a lot of pictures. It has now been completely destroyed by the recent Russian invasion. Thousands of people have been killed, the entire infrastructure destroyed, a whole city—home to half a million people—traumatized and ruined.
I’m holding a one week flash print sale from March 25-31 until April 3, drawn from this set of 20 of my photographs from Mariupol taken between 2014 and 2022. 50% of the proceeds will go to the 24.02 Fund supporting Ukrainian journalists with safety equipment. The other 50% are to help my own relocation efforts as my Ukrainian wife and I look for a new (but temporary) home before we welcome our first child in early June.
All prints are A4 size paper (the photo itself is 6” x 9”), open edition, signed, archival quality pigment prints. Frame not included. Customer is responsible for any necessary customs duties, taxes, or other fees related to international shipping.
