This photo won 1994 Pulitzer Prize during Sudan Famine.This Picture is depicting a famine stricken child crawling towards United Nations Food camp.This camp is located a couple of kilometres away.The vulture is waiting for the child to die.No one knows what happened to the child as the photographer "Kevin Carter" left the place after taking his "Pulitzer Prize" shot.But you should know "Kevin Carter" has committed suicide within few months of taking this picture.
Here is the suicide note of Carter.Its a choke hold attempt to let the world know as he was... "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 . . . " And then this: "I have gone to join Ken if I am that lucky."
