Struggling Girl, Kevin Carter, 1993
Taken in March 1993 by Kevin Carter, this photo shows a vulture waiting for a starving Sudanese girl to die. Carter captured the girl who had stopped to rest while struggling to a United Nations feeding centre nearby. The photo sparked a debate over when photographers should intervene. The child survived but died 14 years later from malarial fever. But in July 1994, three months after winning a Pulitzer for his image, Carter took his own life out of guilt.
