I have seen it all. Down to people amputating their cock, shitting in their face and eating horsecocks... Just one of those things after 10 years in this biz...
This picture keeps haunting me though.
In March 1993 Carter made a trip to southern Sudan with intentions of documenting the local rebel movement. However, upon arriving and witnessing the horror of the famine, Carter began to take photographs of starving victims. The sound of soft, high-pitched whimpering near the village of Ayod attracted Carter to a young emaciated Sudanese toddler. The girl had stopped to rest while struggling to a feeding center, wherein a seemingly well-fed vulture had landed nearby. He said that he waited about 20 minutes, hoping that the vulture would spread its wings. It didn't. Carter snapped the haunting photograph and chased the vulture away. However, he also came under heavy criticism for just photographing ? and not helping ? the girl:
"The man adjusting his lens to take just the right frame of her suffering might just as well be a predator, another vulture on the scene." [2]
Carter committed suicide on july 27th 2004.
I would have to say that this right here is the answer to all our probs. Yes a sweeping statement, but a well thought about one. Smokey, I say this to few, but you are very well rounded in your knowledge and beleifs, I can relate to them alot. Understanding, Enlightenment and Truth is most of what I hear come from your mouth-or-whatever. Respect buddy.
All our problems cannot be solved overnight, it would only throw us into chaos of the opposite nature, we must coach, educate with control, and respond accordingly. Extremities are the one thing we are supposed to be combating, but all that seems to be happening is flip flop flip flop. No balance.
