The Vulture and the Little Girl

This was the Circulated Photo of a vulture waiting for a starving Sudanese girl to die so it can feast on her. It was taken by Kevin Carter, a prolific South African photojournalist, during the famine of 1993 in Sudan. This photo later won Kevin the Pulitzer prize for an 'exceptional' caption. However, Kevin later got depressed and took his own life four months after his world wide celebration as a skillful photographer. He fell to depression. His depression began when during an interview (a phone-in programme), someone asked him what happened to the child. "I did not wait to see what happened after this shot as I had a flight to catch.... "And the person replied, "I put it to you that there were two vultures that day; one had a camera". This statement sank Kevin and as he constantly thought of the statement, he got depressed and ended his own life. In whatever we do, let's consider humanity first. Kevin Carter, may still have been alive today had it been he helped that little child. To all you photographers that come to the African continent to take pictures of our people, our cultures, our struggles just for your own satisfaction and to gain followers, you need to stop. You need to respect and appreciate our cultures, our people and our struggles. We are not your project.
