Don McCullin at 90: how war's greatest witness found salvation in a Somerset shed

A somber black and white still life featuring a small statue, fruit, berries, and a bird inside a glass bell jar, all resting on a stone slab against a textured wall with ivy.

Don McCullin has seen things that no person should have to witness. From Cyprus to Cambodia, Biafra to Northern Ireland, the British photographer spent decades enduring some of humanity's worst moments, his camera documenting the full horror of conflict. 

His lens captured starving children, shellshocked soldiers and the aftermath of unspeakable violence. Then he came home to Somerset, England, walked into his garden shed and… started photographing pears.
