Fotograful s-a bucurat ca a gasit un instantaneu care ii poate aduce bani si celebritate. Nu a alungat vulturul, nu a luat copilul de acolo sa-l duca intr-un orfelinat ceva, nu i-a dat ceva sa manance. Deci eu la fotograf ma gandesc ma mult, nu la acel suferind. Asta e marea diferenta dintre atei si crestini: noi consideram acest timp ca inceputul vesniciei, pe cand voi va rezumati la cativa ani de existenta...

Habar n-am avut ca jurnalistul a capatat premiul Pulitzer pentru poza asta si ca dupa cateva luni s-a sinucis.

The haunting
photo of a vulture stalking an emaciated Sudanese girl who'd collapsed on her way to a feeding station won photographer Kevin Carter a
Pulitzer Prize in 1994. Carter also become notorious for sticking to the journalistic principle of being an observor and not getting involved -- he left after taking his photo and neither he, nor the
New York Times, which first published the photo on 26 March 1993, knew what happened to her. (Looking at the photo, it's hard to imagine a pleasant ending.) A few months later after collecting his Pulitzer, Carter committed suicide, the violence he'd encountered in his life as a journalist, especially in South Africa, becoming too much to live with.
