another vulture on the scene

an excerpt from the suicide note of Pulitzer prize winning photographer who snapped this picture, Kevin Carter...

I am 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...

There is also the question of ethics...

"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."
