Kevin Carter (1961-1994) - South Africa Pulitzer Prize winner, Kevin Carter, took his own life months after winning the Pulitzer Prize for feature photography for a haunting Sudan famine picture. A free-lance photographer for Reuter and Sygma Photo NY and former PixEditor of the Mail&Gaurdian, Kevin dedicated his carrer to covering the ongoing conflict in his native South Africa. He was highly honoured by the prestigious Ilford Photo Press Awards on several occasions including News Picture of the Year 1993. Kevin is survived by a seven year old daughter, Megan.

I don't know why someone who has a kid would kill themselves.

I do, provided it's a kid like the one I just experienced at the supermarket.

it's okay in those cases.

If I had a kid like that german kid screaming at the video game that someone posted a few weeks ago. I'd kill myself.
