The photographer who took photos of "Vultures and Little Girls" won an international prize. What happened afterwards?

No, he killed himself. This photo was shown to us by my teacher before my art test. That is the work "Hungry Sultan" submitted by photographer kevin carter. There is an African girl in this photo. She hasn't eaten for a long time, and her ribs look obvious. I suspect that there is no fat under her skin. Behind her, a fierce vulture is staring at her. It has been hungry for a long time, so it regards the little girl as its next food.

When kevin carter met this scene, he was recording material in Africa. At that time, the little girl and her mother came to the rescue station to receive relief food. She was waiting for her mother, but the vulture behind her just accidentally fell down and didn't mean to eat the little girl. At that time, there were so many people queuing for relief food that vultures could not really eat the little girl.

But people who see this picture don't know. Many of them feel sorry for the little girl in the picture and blame kevin carter with their incompetent anger. They resent him for choosing to take pictures instead of saving the little girl, insulting and personally attacking the photographer, and even cursing the photographer, saying that he is an out-and-out egoist.

When kevin carter heard these voices, he thought for a long time. Although the real scene at that time was not what these people thought, it seemed that he was suffering from depression. He also began to live with a strong sense of remorse. He felt that he took this photo just to win the prize, and he didn't choose to help the little girl at that time. Finally, in such a long and dark self-condemnation, he chose to commit suicide. Many people always like to criticize others without knowing the truth. These people are what we now call keyboard men.
