These pics are nice.. so tragic that he commited suicide for this.
I think these people have affected the world in a way, it kinda opened (at least) me eyes for the situation in poor countries in Africa.

Any human who can just walk away from a child that is suffering doesnt deserve to live anyway

johnleeknoefler - Everyone is entitled to their own opinion on suicide but to basically say he himself made the kid starve is absurd. You didn't say that, but it comes out that way. Him and a friend were traveling around Sudan by plane with food distributors and they were coming up to a village where they drop off food for the families. They had 30 minutes, and while the other people passed out food. Kevin took the opportunity to be able to take shots of the village and the effects on human life with all of the famine. Kevin captured thousands of heart-wrenching photographs prior to this, but this was the first time he ever experienced first hand, the extreme effects of famine. I'm sure it was depressing enough seeing adults suffering from it.. let alone small children.

He didn't move the child because he was taking photographs with the vulture in the shot. The girl's mother set down her child to go get food. She wasn't "abandoned" by everyone. I'm sure if she was alone that vulture would of easily killed her, but that wasn't the case thankfully. I cannot even image having those type of memories in my head. He saw all the ugliness in the world and the mere fact you can't do anything drastic then and there to fix it, is heart breaking. He also had extenuating circumstances in his personal life, as well.

This probably comes off very bitchy but it really wasn't my intention. I just wanted to point out the facts that you obviously weren't aware of. I'll apologize in advance if you take offense, because it wasn't intended.

Just wanted to say thanks for letting us know a little more about the situation. It's definitely heart wrenching to see children suffer. That picture is an accurate description of what it's like in those areas. Had he not gotten that shot and the tons more he did, we would not have been able to comprehend the horrors. It's easy for us to sit around on are cushy little seats with a computer in front of us never really contributing anything. His camera was our eyes. What a great man, I guess the sadness just engulfed him :(

What a bastard! He could've walked that baby a damned kilometer! Instead, he's praised for doing nothing and then feeling guilty about it!
