Wanting a Meal

This is a small explanation of the picture above which I presented in class

While in Sudan, near the village of Ayod,  Kevin Carter found a small, emaciated toddler struggling to make her way to the food station. When she stopped to rest, a vulture landed nearby with his eyes on the little girl. Carter took twenty minutes to take the photo, wanting the best shot possible, before chasing the bird away. He faced a lot of criticism for the picture.

 "The man adjusting his lens to take just the right frame of her suffering, might just as well be a predator, another vulture on the scene."

Sold to the New York Times, the photograph first appeared on 26 March 1993 and was carried in many other newspapers around the world. Hundreds of people contacted the Times to ask the fate of the girl. The paper reported that it was unknown whether she had managed to reach the feeding center.

in 1994 the picture won the Pulitzer award but Kevin Carter committed suicide two months later owing to depression.
