Went to the library tonite and found a book of the worlds greatest photos and this one was in it...called, " Death vigil in Sudan " by Kevin Carter, 1993
" This picture shocked the world and earned the Pulitizer Prize for South African photographer Carter. After taking it, Carter chased away the vulture that threatened the child-but the memories of the many violent scenes he recorded in the waning years of aparthied were not so easily shaken. "You are making a visual here", he said of the photojournalist's plight, "But inside something is screaming, 'My God!' "
A despondent Carter committed suicide in 1994 "
