Downer Blog



From Gene Weingarten's chat at the Post:

"South African photographer Kevin Carter took this horrifying image of a vulture waiting near a starving little girl in Sudan. It also won the Pulitzer Prize. But it brought Carter no joy. Just months after his win, beset by financial troubles, and haunted by the misery he had borne witness to, Carter took his own life. "

I can't stop thinking about this picture, so I wanted to pass along the trauma.
