A Child and a Vulture



I first had a glimpse of this image while in a photography seminar with Roland Icban Jr., two Saturdays ago. It shows a hungry Sudanese child being stalked by a vulture, which, apparently, is waiting for the former to die and be its meal. The story the image tells and the one behind its existence still haunts me.

Kevin Carter won a Pulitzer Prize for this photo in 1993, while in the middle a controversy it gave birth to since it got published. Human Rights activists, in different levels, condemned Carter for taking this picture instead of rescuing the child. A flood of letters were also sent to the The New York Times, where this picture was published, containing questions regarding the fate of the unfortunate little girl, after the photo was taken. Carter was even called the “other predator," a label which, people who knew, claimed to have had a profound effect on the photographer.

About a month after taking home his Pulitzer for this photo, Kevin Carter committed suicide.
