Sudan
This photo was really emotionally stirring because it vividly illutrates the tragedy of the Sudanese famine in 1994. I saw it at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C. and I was utterly overwhelmed because of the form and helplessness of the child. The vulture in the back of the photo is waiting for the child to die so that it can eat it. Kevin Carter, the man who photographed this photo, committed suicide three months later due to depression. I think that that is very telling.

This is the kind of photo that makes you depressed for an entire day when you realize that you were also a baby that year and that if not for an accident of fate, you could have been born in Darfur also đ
