Obviously it is an award-winning photo that shocked the world. Why does the photographer say "shame"?

Because the photographer himself doesn't want to win the prize through this photo, he thinks it is a shame to win the prize with such a photo. He just hopes that more people can see such photos and let more people in the world know that there is such a place where such a group of people are still starving. He hopes that the famine in Uganda will win more people's attention, so as to do something for the people in this land as much as possible, that's all.

When photographer Wells found that the photos he took in Uganda were taken by a publishing house and won an award, Wells felt guilty, because it was like marketing other people's pain, and a deep sense of guilt quickly swept the photographer, so the photographer would say "shame". Of course, at the same time, this photo has attracted more attention because of winning the prize, which can be said to be a good thing for the people who are still starving in Uganda.

This is consistent with the original intention of photographer Wells. In a small photo, a boy's thin hand in Uganda famine is more shocking than that of another healthy person. We can't help wondering why we have such thin hands. Does he have any meat on his hand? However, he is only a boy of several years old. If he goes on like this, I'm afraid whether he can grow up healthily is still a problem.

Under such impact, photos are easy to spread. The famine situation in Uganda will be more widely concerned, and more people will be willing to lend a helping hand to Uganda to help this famine-stricken area and help Ugandans tortured by famine.
