A photo that killed the photographer.
Left: Photojournalist Kevin Carter.
Right: A child struggling to reach a UN food distribution centre while a vulture waits.
This picture of Sudan's severe famine got Carter a Pulitzer award in 1994.
Four months later, Carter died by suicide.
Many are asking if Kevin Carter helped the child after taking the photo.
The answer is: NO
As per his words, he waited there for 20 minutes more because he hoped that the vulture would open its wings and he would get a better shot.
He said later that he scared the vulture away.
