The photo showed the hungry people in Africa been watched by a vulture. The vulture seems hunting on the baby. The photographer, Kelvin Carter suicide because he suffered depression from taking that photo, at a young age of 31. One of his friends died and the other mortally wounded when trying to take photo of south Africa apartheid conflict. The people, who criticize him for not helping, did not think in his shoes. They assumed that he did not have rules to follow.
According to the we have done on Kelvin Carter, we have gathered some information below. He was born in a all-white society where black people were being described in all negative ways. What we thought was maybe because of the curiosity for the lives of black people and that made him a photographer and took photos in Africa to truly know about them. We thought that he was confused whether to help or not to help the suffering people in his photos as a photographer to the extend where he could not take it and chose to give up on his life.
That picture is making us reflecting as well, sometimes life has two sides. If Kelvin Carter did not take that picture, who would know about this.Nobody would know the hard situation that Africa is facing. If Kelvin Carter took the picture, he would be judged. Looking at the picture from another angle, this shows the key chain of food really well. The ones that are strong gets to survive, the ones that are weak will not be able to fit in the community. this sounds really cruel, but that is what we are facing everyday.
