this is such a painful photo to look at...people are killing each other for the smallest things while there are children in the world just needing one small thing that we all take for granted..FOOD!...i wish i could feed and shelter all the children in the world that need it...
ReplyDeleteI cried when I first saw this photo some time ago...it is a haunting moment. unforgetable. depressing. his photo really was a painful reality check for those of us living in ignorant bliss...many were motivated & made aware of such situations in some parts of the world & so there is now more help rendered and more people donating to such causes.
ReplyDeleteKevin Carter captured The prize-winning image: A vulture watches a starving child in southern Sudan, March 1, 1993.
Carter’s winning photo shows a heart-breaking scene of a starving child collapsed on the ground, struggling to get to a food center during a famine in the Sudan in 1993. In the background, a vulture stalks the emaciated child.
Carter was part of a group of four fearless photojournalists known as the “Bang Bang Club” who traveled throughout South Africa capturing the atrocities committed during apartheid.
Haunted by the horrific images from Sudan, Carter committed suicide in 1994 soon after receiving the award.
