These photograph was taken by Kevin Carter. The child was struggling to reach a ONU food center a kilometer away and Carter had been warned not to touch those affected by the famine in Sudan since they might contain diseases that could be spread. Carter left after taking the photo and did not help the child although he later confessed that he regretted it. He mention waited for the vulture to leave, and after some minutes tried to scare the vulture away. He, nor anyone, knows if the child had the stregth to survive. Carter won the Pulitzer price in 1994 for this photograph, but committed suicide soon after. Many speculate he commited suicide due to the guilt of being a mere observer in the tragedy. He left a goodbye note that read:"I am depressed ... without phone ... money for rent ... money for child support ... money for debts ... money!!! ... I am haunted by the vivid memories of killings & corpses & anger & pain ... of starving or wounded children, of trigger-happy madmen, often police, of killer executioners...I have gone to join Ken if I am that lucky."
Kevin Carter witnessed many sorrow and torture to human kind. He tried to find himself by taking pictures but became depressed for his inability to be courages enough to be kind to those suffering. Carter's suicide show he never quite found himself nor put his priorities in check, for in his goodbye letter the first thing he mentions is money.
