FROM FACEBOOK NOTES TO BLOGGING

THE GUILT CONDEMNING PICTURE

EVER HEARD OF KEVIN CARTER. PROBABLY NOT? HE ONCE CAPTURED AN ICONIC PICTURE OF THE VULTURE PREDATOR THAT HE PHOTOGRAPHED IN 1993 STALKING A STARVING SUDANESE CHILD. THE VULTURE WAS WAITING FOR THE CHILD TO DIE AND EAT IT.




THE PICTURE WON THE SOUTH ADRICAN PHOTOJOURNALIST THE PULITZER FOR FEATURE PHOTOGRAPHY IN 1994. BUT CARTER WAS UNABLE TO LIVE WITH THE GUILT OF ABANDONING THE NEEDY CHILD, AND COMMITTED SUICIDE 3 MONTHS AFTER RECEIVING THE PULITZER.
