The South African photo journalist and war photographer Kevin Carter won the Pulitzer Prize in 1994 for the picture taken in Sudan . You see a vulture behind a crouching and starving child. One year later he committed suicide. In his farewell letter he wrote:
“I’m haunted by the memories of the murder, of the corpses, of the rage, of the pain …, of starving and wounded children …The pain of life surmounts the joy to an extent that no joy exists anymore…”
