Tyler Hicks Under Fire

We seem to have another Don McCullin in our midst.

If you don't see the New York Times (and I've been on vacation so I missed the first part), go to their website and check out this story: an element of First Battalion, 26th Infantry, in the Korangal Valley, Kunar Province, Afghanistan, lays an ambush for Taliban fighters. (Here.) Three days later, the Taliban ambush a platoon of 1/26 with C. J. Chivers and Tyler Hicks with them. (Here.) And there is a photo-slide show of Hicks work, under fire. (Here.) Beautiful landscape, horrific experience, great work.
