The following classic picture was taken by Kevin Carter.
South Africa Pulitzer Prize winner, Kevin Carter (1961-1994), took his own life months after winning the Pulitzer Prize for the above photograph of a Sudan girl suffering from famine. He came under heavy criticism for just photographing and not helping the girl. This criticism and the death of a close friend, Ken Oosterbroek, who was shot and killed in Tokoza on April 18, 1994 while covering township violence, may have contributed to Carter's tragic suicide.
