Who knows which photographer this photo belongs to? Do you have anything similar?

This is a picture that changed the world, called hungry children and vultures. Photographer kevin carter, American. In the photo, a Sudanese child is struggling to climb to the UN Food Relief Office and is targeted by an equally greedy and hungry vulture. Obviously, the child is starving, and the vulture is waiting for its delicious meal.

This photo that shocked the world won the Pulitzer Prize, the highest honor award in American news reporting. However, his photographer Kevin Carte committed suicide three months after receiving this honor (1July 27th, 994), ending his 33-year-old young life.

It is also a well-known reason. Because of this photo, kevin carter was accused as a cold-blooded reporter. People asked him why he didn't leave his camera and give the dying child a pot of water or a piece of bread. Why not send the dying child to the rescue office for rescue treatment? When people asked about the final result of the child, kevin carter was speechless.

He later explained that African countries were starving everywhere at that time, and there were disasters and deaths everywhere. External assistance is only a drop in the bucket, and no one can do anything about the hunger and death of the victims. What's more, the plane carrying out the task at that time had already left, and he boarded the plane with a heavy heart. Looking back, he saw this heartbreaking scene and immediately snapped it.

Although it is generally believed that kevin carter at that time must have his own reasons for helplessness. But the media didn't stop attacking because of his explanation. They think: isn't a child's life worse than a news photo? Isn't a child's life worth a news prize? Why didn't kevin carter help the child? ...

A few years ago, I read a report about kevin carter and this photo in Reader's Digest. I saw this photo in my friend's blog again today. Although the feeling now is not quite the same as before, I still have a sense of disappointment in the face of this story that has happened for nearly ten years today. I think an artist's sensitive life is in an instant! Although he has always had a compassionate heart, at that time, his thoughts may have limitations; It is his sensitivity that covers everything about him.

Or kevin carter didn't feel too sad when taking pictures, because Africa was full of hunger at that time. Or at the moment I boarded the plane and sat down, I suddenly felt that I didn't do what I should have done, but the plane had taken off and I have been regretting it ever since. Yes, in fact, as an artist, sometimes our thoughts and eyes always focus on one direction. What you find runs counter to what you should do.

We just think about what we are doing now, but we don't think about what we really should do. When we were in a place full of hunger and death, or at that time, this photo was just a photo taken by kevin carter. We believe that he may have witnessed a more painful tragedy! And when this photo became shocking, we knew what we should and shouldn't do!

When kevin carter thanked the world with his 33-year-old life, we finally discovered some darkness of human nature. Hungry Children and Vultures is a photo that changed the world, but it is not only a photo that reflects the famine in Africa at that time, it also reflects the harshness of human spiritual world and the lack of human self-world. Although people know that the world is not perfect, they always want to pursue perfection; Although we can't be perfect, we always blame ourselves for being imperfect.

Hungry children and vultures are also a bloody picture. Not only hungry children, but also Africa, the world and photographer kevin carter. It was he who recorded this terrible tragedy in an instant, and it was he who wrote down this eternal regret in an instant-the tragedy caused by human beings. Who will make up for it?
