Adam I saw this picture for the first time last year It has haunted me ever since. I just can't believe that someone could take that picture and not pick that little baby up and take her home. This is one of the things I have such a hard time with ...why did God allow that to happen to her?
News & Notes, March 2, 2006 · Farai Chideya talks to Dan Krauss, the director of The Death of Kevin Carter, an Oscar-nominated documentary about the life, work and suicide of a Pulitzer-prize winning South African photojournalist.
Carter's winning photo shows a heart-breaking scene of a starving child collapsed on the ground, struggling to get to a food center during a famine in the Sudan in 1993. In the background, a vulture stalks the emaciated child.
Carter was part of a group of four fearless photojournalists known as the "Bang Bang Club" who traveled throughout South Africa capturing the atrocities committed during apartheid.
Haunted by the horrific images from Sudan, Carter committed suicide in 1994 soon after receiving the award.

Yeah, I knew that the photographer of this picture took his own life. I also know he was haunted by the fact that he did nothing for this girl.
