In 1993 there was a serious famine in Sudan. Kevin Carter made a trip to south Sudan to document and take photos of the situation. This is the famous one that made the whole world weep. It represents a vulture preying upon a little girl near a village. It looks as if the vulture is waiting for the poor little girl's death so that it can have lunch. It's a sort of metaphor for "Africa’s desperation" during that season. This photograph was published for the first time in the New York Times that year. This publication caused discussion among people because they thought it was inhuman to stay there just to take a photo without doing anything. Although in the end Carter won the Pulitzer Prize, he felt guilty because he couldn't help the child; indeed he committed suicide. Recently, El Mundo flew to Sudan just to know the destiny of that girl. They discovered that the child in the photo was a boy instend of a girl and that he was able to survive. This photo made history because it shows the desperation in Africa, in particular the big contrast between rich countries and the poorer ones. With this shoot Carter was able to say more than a common person could do with his own words, that's why this photo is among the photos that made history.
