    this photo was actually the recipient of the nobel prize a few years ago. The acclaimed journalist who took it did not kill himself in three days after taking it. Once the photo reached mass audiences and won the prize it began to draw criticism from people who said the boy should’ve been helped rather than made a spectacle of. Torn by the moral implications of these realizations and criticisms the photographer commit suicide months after the photo had been published. Look up recent nobel prize pictures and you will find the real story.

    There is a reason some photographers are photographers. One is because that they love to take pictures. Another is to get a point, idea, or lifestyle across. The photographer of this photo did something, he took a picture of what every day life is like in 3rd world countries, and by doing this, he allowed many other people to see just a glimpse of what a horrid life some people have to live. It causes more and more people to want to take action against the effects of a 3rd world country. A picture is worth a thousand words, and this one speaks a million. If he would have done something prior to taking the picture, this point would not have gotten to millions of people. It’s a very interesting subject, just take some time to think.

    Yeah he committed suicide many months later.
    And in this photo the journo was walking with a group of people to one of the camps with adults leading the way. The toddler fell behind. He took this snap. People came and picked up the child. They all kept going.

    Look it up and don’t believe FB BS.

    the photographer did commit suicide, a few months later, due to many other reasons.

    this is a very disturbing photograph of a starving child being stalked by a vulture. As a different site states, the photograph won a Pulitzer Prize for Feature Photography in 1994 for the photographer, Kevin Carter. Carter took the photograph during a trip to the Sudan in 1993.
    The incredibly powerful image graphically illustrates the terrible plight of those inflicted by desperate poverty. Even the most hard-hearted individual is likely to be affected by the photograph. For most people, there is an instinctive desire to somehow reach out and rescue the child from her terrible situation. Thus, it is not surprising that the photograph won such a prestigious award.
    After the photograph was published in the New York Times, it became world famous and helped to raise awareness of global poverty. However, Carter was roundly condemned for taking the photograph and leaving the scene rather than actually helping the child. An entry about Carter’s life on BBC – h2g2 notes:

    Meanwhile, the New York Times, looking for photographs of the Sudan famine, bought Carter’s shot and ran it on 23 March. The newspaper was swamped with letters and telephone calls, many asking what had happened to the child. Within days, the photograph was a global icon. Syndicated around the world, it was an image that was worth a thousand telethons. However, Carter faced fierce criticism for abandoning the child.

    What happened to the child after Carter left is unknown. The BBC – h2g2 article goes on to explain the circumstances in which the photograph was taken.

    A soft whimpering sound caught his attention. It was a pitiful, animal-like sound. He moved towards it until he found the source. A young African girl was crawling weakly towards the centre of a clearing. She didn’t have the energy to stand and, emaciated, stood little chance of survival. If the plight of this little girl couldn’t stir the world into action nothing would, as Carter knew instinctively and immediately.
    He crouched with his camera, ready to frame an eye-level shot. As he did so, a vulture landed behind her, obviously awaiting the moment of death. He carefully framed the photograph, being careful not to disturb the bird, and clicked. He waited about 20 minutes, waiting for the bird to fly off, and when it didn’t, he chased it away.
    Carter sat under a tree, watched her struggle for a while, smoked a cigarette and ‘talked to God’. He did not help the girl. Utterly depressed, he went back to Silva and explained what had happened, wiping his eyes and saying ‘I see all this, and all I can think of is Megan. I can’t wait to hug her when I get home.

    At the time that Carter took the photograph, he was a deeply troubled man, haunted by the things he had seen during his career, plagued by personal problems, and battling a drug habit. Only months after receiving the Pulitzer, Kevin Carter took his own life. Thus, it is too simplistic to suggest that he committed suicide as a direct result of his experience with this child as implied in the message.

    A detailed article about the life of Kevin Carter is available on BBC – h2g2. An award winning documentary by filmmaker Dan Krauss, The Death of Kevin Carter also examines the photojournalist’s troubled life and career
