I'm not sure if anyone noted that Kevin Carter, the photographer of the vulture and child, committed suicide just months after winning the Puliter Prize for photojournalism.


Kevin Carter (1961-1994) - South Africa Pulitzer Prize winner, Kevin Carter, took his own life months after winning the Pulitzer Prize for feature photography for a haunting Sudan famine picture. A free-lance photographer for Reuter and Sygma Photo NY and former PixEditor of the Mail&Gaurdian, Kevin dedicated his carrer to covering the ongoing conflict in his native South Africa. He was highly honoured by the prestigious Ilford Photo Press Awards on several occasions including News Picture of the Year 1993. Kevin is survived by a seven year old daughter, Megan.

"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."


These are the words attributed to Kevin Carter in his suicide note.

It looks like his world was crashing in on him.

judging

i am shocked at how some of you people are judging kevin carter i am not trying to defend him, but i have to ask before you commented on this did u ask yourselves if you have done anything about the situation in sudan? have you ever once researched and found out how their case is? And the sad thing is that that photo was taken in 1994 and the same situation is going on today 2007. Do you people even know such a country existed everyday people in sudan live in constant fear and starvation because they are being raided by the militia group. i am only 15 years old, true i may know more because i am african but that is not even an excuse, and to top this is that it is not only happening in sudan somalia has the same situation, kenya has the same situation, ethiopia has the same situatioon. so i ask you WHAT HAVE YOU DONE ABOUT IT?? if nothing dont bother replying
