cameramen/women have a set of rules to their job, they can take pictures and whatnot, but they do not have the authority to interfere in anyway of foreign people, be it positive or negative
it shouldn't take this picture to tug on your heart strings re poverty stricten people. If you didnt know there were people starving to death in Africa by now you must have your head in the sand. When was the last time you did anything to help these people? Do you buy fairtrade products? Do you wear clothing made in sweat shops? Open your eyes people. Not everyone on this planet has drive through McDonalds, MTV and access to health and education.
We all know its going on, but its so sad seeing it again. Of course its going to make us upset, even if we see the picture a hundred times over. How about instead of spending your time on the internet, commenting on photos, YOU try and help? Why don't you sponsor a child or go to Africa and feed them! Eh?
Ethics or rules be damned, this is not a lion taking down a zebra, if he could have prevented it then he should have. The ethics line is fucking bullshit and the person that refered to a human being as "it" you are a moron.
I don't understand how someone would rather choose suicide than getting fired for interfering with the photography topic. He could have helped the boy and lost his job. That seems much less drasic than watching a vulture eat a baby then taking your own life.
last week i went for a lunch at a 5-star hotel. and i saw a lot of UNICEF people booked tables to have lunch there too. there goes our money...spent at a hotel where it should have been used to save this poor little boy.
This fan club cheat people...this is an very old (1993) and famous photo The photographer committed suicide 3 month after he winning the Pulitzer Prize for Feature Photography on May 23, 1994 I tot is a new photo ...cheh
the guy who said that im an idiot, call me whatever you want. cause you dont have a heart. you dont care about other people. cold hearted person you are.
"cameramen/women have a set of rules to their job, they can take pictures and whatnot, but they do not have the authority to interfere in anyway of foreign people, be it positive or negative"...who over said these words fuk ur rules n fuk u...photographer thought not worth living anymore coz he could have saved that dying child...n this all happened maybe coz of ur fuking set of rules....
@ the moron that said "who cares? it's just a black kid." The WHOLE world cares, except for the f*cking nazis and racists and these ridiculous guys as well, those pigs with the white hoodies that I'm not even interested in knowing the name of this organization that takes away innocent people's lives. Anyways, as you might know, you-dumb-being-that-has-half-the-feet-of-a-quatraped-but-not-a-heart or a conscious, only YOU actually noticed it was a black kid. If I'm not mistaken, all the rest of the people that have commented above me, saw nothing but a KID. Nothing but an innocent 4 year old,(or somewhere there I guess) an innocent soul, that is about to die. You obviously don't have children and neither do I, since I'm a child myself.(I'm 14 FYI.) But I couldn't help but comment when I saw this reckless comment of yours! If I were insane like you, I would start calling you names like, you know, asshole, dickhead, etc., but I really don't see a point in this because then I would be an idiot myself since I'm not justifying why YOU are moron. The reason is all the above stuff I wrote about you. Either ways, I think I've already given you too much credit. Just next time, try to keep your meanness to yourself because yeah, it's easy to say all these stuff behind your screen but do you really have the guts to get out and say those stuff ALOUD? Oh, no? Well, I thought so. You are a RACIST man/girl/whatever it doesn't really matter!, and you're NEVER really going on in your life with a mind like that! How about pushing the "REFRESH" button of your brain, or whatever it's left from it?(I mean, you're used at using buttons aren't you? You just sit all day long behind your PC's screen writing mean stuff about people who don't have the same color as you) Man, it's 2010, it's the fuckin 21st century, Hitler's no longer the chief of the world! WAKE UP!!!!!
"who cares?" FUCK YOU! we all care.. The 14 year old hit it all right on the head.. and basically, you should be ashamed of yourself for what you said! I also agree that when it comes to human life, or pain of any sort to another living creature of any sort, anyone, camera person or not, anyone should DO SOMETHING!!! EVOLVE, please!!! Evolve...! I'm sorry my eyes had to lay upon this image...But even worse, I'm disgusted that my eyes had to read your ugly, disgusting comment!!! What a pig you truly are.. Oh, wait, that's an insult to the pigs...
Stupid photographer should have helped, thats why he was depressed afterwards screw photographer ethics... I have a 1 1/2 yr old boy and this picture pisses me off.
The photographer was kevin carter which is what the manic street preachers song was about, he actually landed in a red cross helicopter dropping off food supplies. The child was just having a rest, the parents were out of shot along with many others
Hey, who gives a shit obviously nobody in this fucking comment section, your all pussies, "ohh this is so sad" fucking do something about it.. im not effected by this picture only because it happens every day and your all to blind to see it.
It happens, It's sad yes... But sitting here writing fat paragraphs about ethnic rights or whatever and trying to be clever is not helping at all. Get a grip. And please do not critisize the cameraman you have never been in his position before and have no idea at the situation he was in therefore you have no right to judge.
i find it really sad that it took you all to see this photo to actually think about doing something to help. you all talk about helping but how many of you actually did?? everyone talks about helping but how many of them actually help?? makes you think
and in defense for the cameraman. rules are rules. honestly how many of you would risk your job in this economy to help a kid one time when you could help hundreds by donating. and it doesnt have to be a big donation. ANY donation works.
you guys all talk big and some of you even find it funny or pointless but truth is, this is happening and as soon as people get that through their heads is when everyone will start to help. im only 15 and ive been donating and trying to actually help since i was 12. i really dont see the point in commenting on a photo when you could actually do something about it. (//.X)
Wow do some research....he took this picture to show the world famine...the child had the parents near by and they were picking up food from the UN so she ended up fine at the time and fed by the wonderful people at the UN. He scared the vulture away at the picture.
As for all of you, get off your damn high horse. I care deeply as much as you do and even more so since I actually donate money to many of them. I bet most of you do shit to help anyways.
I feel just as bad as the next person, but hey we have starving kids right here in the US. Why don't we start worrying about them also. I don't see any of these wealthy other countries helping the kids right here in our own back yards.
omg this photo is so wrong weather its the law or not no one in there right mind would leave a helpless child like that and the man ends up taking the easy way out hope he rotts in hell for leaving than child
This picture is terrible. But what's even worse is the fact that so many people just don't care. Half of these comments are probably stupid little kids trying to be cool by saying some stupid comment. It kills me inside to see how awful people treat children because of there race. One day, the blacks an minorities are going to stand up, and all of us white people are gonna be the first out. Why not, instead of wasting your precious time commenting this picture, find a conscious.
On 27 July 1994 Carter drove to the Braamfontein Spruit river, near the Field and Study Centre, an area where he used to play as a child, and took his own life by taping one end of a hose to his pickup truck’s exhaust pipe and running the other end to the passenger-side window. He died of carbon monoxide poisoning at the age of 33. Portions of Carter's suicide note read: "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 and corpses and anger and pain ... of starving or wounded children, of trigger-happy madmen, often police, of killer executioners...I have gone to join Ken if I am that lucky."[5] from wikapedia, and he did scar the vulture away
You guys could go back all you want with this, the boy and/or girl is dead. As you guys are commenting, more boys / girls are dying due to being in the same situation. Anyone could donate as much as they want, due to the population there of starving PEOPLE, not only CHILDREN... there's only so much food / clothes to donate but it will NEVER help the conditions they're in.
Also- Kevin killed himself 2 months after taking this picture, not 3 days. And while this event probably was partially to blame, it was just a small part of what caused his depression. So don't believe that "taking THIS pic is why he killed himself"- that would be stretching the truth pretty far.
From his suicide note:
"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 and corpses and anger and pain ... of starving or wounded children, of trigger-happy madmen, often police, of killer executioners...I have gone to join Ken if I am that lucky."
The picture speaks a thousand words. This picture is very heart breaking. As it is, we as human beings can do something about it. Starvation is not just happening in Africa, but through out the world. Post your comment's, but in the end...such tragedies can be prevented if enough people really care about making those changes. It's not just about 1 child that is starving to death...I've been around the world a few times...I've seen worse and I got used to it.
GOD NEVER SAID TO ANY HUMAN ON EARTH TO COMMIT SUICIDE IN ANY REASON NO MATTER HOW HARD LIFE IS NO!!!!!! ONE MUST COMMIT SUICIDE BECAUSE YOU WILL MAKE MATTERS WORST PLUS ITS A SIN TO TO KILL YOUR SELF IN ANY WAY
woowwww if i wuz the camera man i wuld say screw the job im helping this kid!!!!! wut kind of person doesnt help a poor inocent child like tht :( this almost brought me 2 tears thinking of not helping tht poor child!!!!! SCREW PHOTOGRAPHY!!!!!
this really breaks my heart to see. its sad that the photographer didnt do anything even though there was rules that he had had to go by. what is even more sadi is that he had to commit suicide, god would not of want any of this. unfortunetly this is what happens every day in the world, just not africa. i love photography but in this case i would hope that i would do something about it, in regards to something like this, screw the rules! in some cases the rules should be violated, just like this one. i hope that this can be a wake up call for people.
every country which spends money on its military budget is responsible ! mainly USA . they all can end this hunger and poverty by spending this shit load amount of money on these poor countries rather spending on their weapons .... i feel shame to live as a human after watching this , i wish i could be dog or cat or mice where is humanity ???????????? at least it does not exist in this mordern world ... shame on you USA ....
What is wrong with half of you? " the parents" what are you on about? Have you ever been to Africa answer probably no! So please don't make speculation on a topic you know nothing about! Oh and that was directed at the prick who blamed the parents!
Hey,the photographer shote this picture from long distance, secondly the guy was evacuating because the place where he staying was attacked, and he know nothing what had actually happend after a couple of minute he shot the picture but atleast he show to the world what is happning in sudan.

Oh my goodness.... This about made me cry! :( K, now I really am.... That poor sick baby! Why didn't the cameraman HELP IT???

When was the last time you did anything to help these people?
Do you buy fairtrade products? Do you wear clothing made in sweat shops?
Open your eyes people. Not everyone on this planet has drive through McDonalds, MTV and access to health and education.

^^^ And also, the child apparently got eaten by the vulture.
poor little boy.. very sad while seeing this pic... thats why the photographer choose to sucide
i just can't stop crying. i don't know how to help either.
Ethics or rules be damned, this is not a lion taking down a zebra, if he could have prevented it then he should have. The ethics line is fucking bullshit and the person that refered to a human being as "it" you are a moron.

"i just can't stop crying. i don't know how to help either."
Very simple: TEACH THEM ABOUT **BIRTH CONTROL!!**
Stop sending them fucking FOOD and send them CONDOMS.
What's REALLY sad about this is the fact that they probably popped out another 7 children that they couldn't feed after this one.
Sickening.
lol stupid niggers
isnt it their fault that the kid is dying when all the retards are having sex when they want support the kids? XD
KEEP IT IN YOUR PANTS!
Also- Kevin killed himself 2 months after taking this picture, not 3 days. And while this event probably was partially to blame, it was just a small part of what caused his depression. So don't believe that "taking THIS pic is why he killed himself"- that would be stretching the truth pretty far.
