A Cure For Wednesdays

Filip. Eighteen. Taken. Straight Edge.

Kevin Carter, A photo-journalist in Sudan took this photo of the starving child in the March of 1993. He watched her hobble across the ground towards the feeding center as a vulture perched behind her waiting for her to die.
He took the photo and left without aiding the girl.
On March 26 1994, He received the Pulitzer prize for this photograph.
On July 27th 1994, He killed himself and left a note reading:
“I am depressed … without phone … money for rent … money for child  support … money for debts … money!!! … I am haunted by the vivid  memories of killings and corpses and anger and pain … of starving or  wounded children, of trigger-happy madmen, often police, of killer  executioners … I have gone to join Ken (a recently deceased friend) if I am that lucky……”
