新聞史上的今天:普利策獎攝影師凱文卡特自殺
1994年7月27日，普利策獎得主、南非攝影師凱文-卡特被發現死在他的小貨車內，顯然是自殺身亡，終年33歲。1993年，卡特赴叛亂中的蘇丹拍攝，期間拍攝的上面這幅作品爲其贏得了普利策獎。而當時拍完這張照片後，卡特點起一支菸，念着上帝的名字放聲慟哭。
Kevin Carter & His Prize-winning photograph in Sudan
凱文-卡特與他的獲獎攝影Kevin Carter was born in apartheid South Africa and grew up in a middle-class, whites-only neighborhood. As a child, he occasionally saw police raids to arrest blacks who were illegally living in the area. He said later that he questioned how his parents, a Catholic, "liberal" family, could be what he described as 'lackadaisical' about fighting against apartheid.
凱文-卡特，攝影記者，生於種族隔離嚴重的南非。擁有中產階級家庭背景的他居住在只有白人的居住區。幼年時，他碰巧遇見警察強行逮捕非法居住於此的黑人，後來他就向基督徒出身的父母提出何爲自由民主與反種族隔離的疑問。Carter had started to work as weekend sports photographer in 1983. In 1984 he moved on to work for the Johannesburg Star, bent on exposing the brutality of apartheid.
1983年他成爲一名體育週刊的攝影記者，84年轉到《約翰內斯堡星報》工作，致力於揭示種族隔離的可怕。
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 vulture landed nearby. Carter reported to taking the picture, because it was his "job title", and leaving. He came under criticism for failing to help the girl.
1993年在蘇丹的旅途中，卡特拍下了一個飢餓的小女孩艱難地爬向食物救濟中心，而一隻禿鷲正巧停在一旁的照片。他本着職業原則，拍下了這個瞬間後就離開了那裏，後來卻因沒有伸出援手救助女孩而飽受非議。The St. Petersburg Times in Florida said this of Carter: "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."
佛羅里達州的《聖彼得堡時報》這麼評價卡特：“這個男人只顧擺弄鏡頭，獲取最震撼的災難場景。漠視救援讓他成爲了圖片中的另一個掠奪者，另一個殘酷的禿鷹。”Sold to the New York Times, the photograph first appeared on March 26, 1993. Hundreds of people contacted the newspaper to ask the fate of the girl. The paper reported that it was unknown whether she had managed to reach the feeding center. In 1994, the photograph won the Pulitzer Prize for Feature Photography.
照片起先賣給了《紐約時報》，於當年3月26日首次出現。此後成百上千的人聯繫報社，詢問女孩的命運。報社方面對女孩是否抵達救濟中心，得到救助，一無所知。1994年該照片榮獲普利茲獎。
