The site, which is at joaosilva.photoshelter.com, invites visitors to suppor the injured photographer by making a donation or by purchasing some of Silva's images.

In October, Silva was "wounded in his legs [when he stepped on a mine] while moving through an area near the town of Arghandab," in southern Afghanistan, says the New York Times.

The photographer and New York Times reporter Carlotta Gall were embedded with a unit of the 4th Infantry Division. According to the newspaper, three American soldiers "sustained concussions," as a result of the explosion. "A group of minesweepers and bomb-sniffing dogs had already moved over the area several steps ahead of Mr. Silva when the bomb went off," writes Dexter Filkins of the New York Times.
