A Picture that made me shed tears.
Remembering Kevin Carter and the photo that made the world weep
Kevin Carter's Pulitzer Prize-winning photograph |
September 13, 2013 /stefan world of pixels/
Born 53 years ago, on 13 September 1960 (d. 27 July 1994), Kevin Carter
was an award-winning South African photojournalist and member of the
Bang-Bang Club. He was the recipient of a Pulitzer Prize for his
photograph depicting the 1993 famine in Sudan. Following the winning of
the Pulitzer Prize he committed suicide at the age of 33.
In March 1993, while on a trip to Sudan, Carter was preparing to
photograph a starving toddler trying to reach a feeding center when a
hooded vulture landed nearby. Carter reported taking the picture,
because it was his "job title", and leaving.
Sold to the New York Times, the photograph first appeared on 26 March
1993 and was carried in many other newspapers around the world. Hundreds
of people contacted the Times to ask the fate of the girl. The paper
reported that it was unknown whether she had managed to reach the
feeding center. On May 23, 14 months after capturing that memorable
scene, Carter walked up to the platform in the classical rotunda of
Columbia University's Low Memorial Library and received the Pulitzer
Prize for feature photography.
With the success of the image came a lot of controversy, and questions
were raised about the ethics of taking such a photograph. An article
printed in 1994 in the St Petersberg Times commented on the morality of
Carters actions, ‘the man adjusting his lens to take just the right
frame of her suffering might just as well be a predator, another vulture
on the scene,’ (Stamets cited in Ricchiardi, 1999).
