I am very familiar with that photo and the photographer.
Beautiful and violently sad.

Here's a higher resolution. A photo like that deserves a decent resolution.

Look him up and educate yourself before judging. :facepalm:
He's an artist, a photographer, and the art of a photographer is to capture the horrible and beautiful things in this world we turn a blind eye to.
He was in a third world country with barely enough food for him and his company. Could/should he have tried to feed that one kid? Probably! But there's also tons of other starving people there, and all around the world, and he can't save them all.
He took enough shit in his lifetime.
His art is to expose us to the horrors of the world so possibly we can try and change things.

i saw that awhile back, apparently for some reason the photographer wasnt allowed to touch the child, something about him giving the photographer a disease, or vise versa. he wasnt alone, but yeah killed himself.

:facepalm:
i understand what you're trying to say, but this kid was less than a mile away from a UN food camp...
That's like 5 minutes of walking to get the kid there...
besides, who says you have to help EVERYBODY? Isn't one life worth enough? I bet you if the photographer would have helped this child get some food his life would have been 19293012x better...
Instead he just took a picture of a good-as-dead starving child and left.

just to think that kid is one of thousands in that area and then think of all the other areas exactly as depressing and poor. i often wished i could do something to help out people like that, but i dunno if i have the stomach to be in such a dire and disasterous state of society. plus, even tho i eat and have shelter im poor as fuck. so i dunno what good id be anyway.

that shit makes me want to cry

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 [recently deceased colleague Ken Oosterbroek] if I am that lucky."[8]

"This picture shocked the world".

You do realise that the act of him taking that picture and making it available to the rest of the world was an extremely good thing,showing the rest of world what Africa can really be like. What he did does not make him a useless dickhole:facepalm:

Walk through Kolkata and give money to one person begging and you'll be swarmed by others looking for money. What are you to do,give away all your money? Sometimes you have to take the hit and be realistic.

My cousins in East Africa actually. Said in like two weeks he only saw one white person who was driving past. Culture shock:lol:

The guy there had spent six months trying to make a website. My cousin was going to speak up and say he'd be able to do it but was told not to say anything as they take things very easy there,no rush:lol:

Such a said world it is. When life is only pain, and one knows nothing else, one wonders what makes them want to go on except for hopes of ceasing the pain for just a moment and experience something else.

I'd rather kill myself than bring a child into that situation that the one in the photo is going through. Sadly there is so much disease, rape, and other shit in that place.

even if it was just that one kid...i can understand not helping him. I dont think I'd be able to just stand by, but it's part of a journalists job to be an objective observer...even when it's incredibly difficult to just observe.

the world can be a horrible place. but it's a journalists job to show us what happens out there. free of the involvement of the reporter.

that said, if i was a journalist in his shoes I dont think i'd have the guts to not pick that kid up and run him to some food and water.
