Gambar sedih giler yang membUatkan jurufoto bunuh diri

lowgil

Kevin Carter (13 September 1960 in Johannesburg – 27 July 1994) was an award-winning South African
photojournalist and member of the Bang-Bang Club.

Death

On 27 July 1994 Carter drove to the Braamfontein Spruit river, near the Field and Study Centre, an area where he used to play as a child, and took his own life by taping one end of a hose to his pickup truck’s exhaust pipe and running the other end to the passenger-side window. He died of carbon monoxide poisoning, aged 33. Portions of Carter's suicide note read:

"I am depressed ... without phone ... money for rent ... money for child support ... money for debts ... money!!! ... I am haunted by the vivid memories of killings and corpses and anger and pain ... of starving or wounded children, of trigger-happy madmen, often police, of killer executioners ... I have gone to join Ken [recently deceased colleague Ken Oosterbroek] if I am that lucky."[8]

Ekceli dia bunuh diri sbb gamba ni
Masa dia tgh rushing nak belah lepas amik gamba kat area ni dia trnampak budak ni tgh merangkak ke tpt bantuan
Burung hering dah tungu nak ngap (bila mati)
So dia stop kejap.. klik klik
Dan cabut cam tu jahhh...

Lepas gamba ni menang anugerah foto dunia, dia kena hentam sbb x buat apa2 utk tolong budak ni
Apalah salahnya dia bantu jap bawak budak ni ke tpt bantuan yg x jauh lagi pon...
Tak de perasaan sungguh
Ini lah namanya dedikasi ngan kerja tapi tiada sifat2 kemanusiaan
Lepas kena hentam tu yg dia tertekan, rasa guilty bagai

walaupon dah pernah tengok gambar budak kecil yg diperhatikan oleh burung hering tu... tapi masih menyayatkan hati

Kevin Carter: The Consequences of Photojournalism


In 1994, South African photojournalist Kevin Carter won the Pulitzer prize for his disturbing photograph of a Sudanese child being stalked by a vulture (left). That same year, Kevin Carter committed suicide.


Without the facts surrounding his death, this behavior may seem surprising. But Carter received heaps of criticism for his actions. While in Sudan, near the village of Ayod, Carter found a small, emaciated toddler struggling to make her way to the food station. When she stopped to rest, a vulture landed nearby with his eyes on the little girl. Carter took twenty minutes to take the photo, wanting the best shot possible, before chasing the bird away.


The photo was published in The New York Times in March of 1993, and sparked a wide reaction. People wanted to know what happened the child, and if Carter had assisted her. The Times issued a statement saying that the girl was able to make it to the food station, but beyond that no one knows what happened to her. Because of this, Carter was bombarded with questions about why he did not help the girl, and only used her to take a photograph. The St. Petersburg Times in Florida said this of Carter: "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." Filmmaker Dan Krauss said, "In his famous picture of the vulture stalking the Sudanese girl, I began to see the embodiment of his troubled psyche. I believe Kevin did, too. In the starving child, he saw Africa's suffering; in the preying vulture, he saw his own face." Carter's daughter Megan responded to such comparisons with, "I see my dad as the suffering child. And the rest of the world is the vulture."


However, Carter was working in a time when photojournalists were told not to touch famine victims for fear of spreading disease. Carter estimated that there were twenty people per hour dying at the food center. The child was not unique. Regardless, Carter often expressed regret that he had not done anything to help the girl, even though there was not much that he could have done, in all actuality.


Carter is the tragic example of the toll photographing such suffering can take on a person. Along with his famous photograph, Carter has captured such things as a public necklacing execution in 1980s South Africa, along with the violence of the time, including shootouts and other executions. Carter spoke of his thoughts when he took these photographs: "I had to think visually. I am zooming in on a tight shot of the dead guy and a splash of red. Going into his khaki uniform in a pool of blood in the sand. The dead man's face is slightly gray. You are making a visual here. But inside something is screaming, 'My God.' But it is time to work. Deal with the rest later. If you can't do it, get out of the game."


Carter's suicide is not a direct result of the Sudanese child, nor the accusations that he staged the scene, or criticisms that he did not assist her. Carter had spiraled into a depression, to which many things were a factor, his vocation as a photojournalist in 1980s Africa definitely a large part of it. Carter and his friends Ken Oosterbroek, Greg Marinovich, and Joao Silva longed to expose the brutality of Apartheid to the world. They captured the violence of South Africa so vividly that a Johannesburg magazine Living dubbed them "The Bang-Bang Club." The title stuck.

On April 18, 1994, only 6 days after Carter won the Pulitzer, the Bang-Bang Club made their way to Tokowa to photograph an outbreak of violence there. At around noon, Carter returned to the city, and heard later on the radio that Oosterbroek had been killed in the conflict, and that Marinovich had been seriously wounded. It was obvious to his friends that Carter blamed himself for Oosterbroek's death, and he even confided in his friends that he felt as though he "should have taken the bullet."

Oosterbroek's death hit Carter hard, and little things in his life began to fall apart. He was constantly haunted by the atrocities that he had witnessed through the years, and finally, on July 27, 1994, Carter backed his red Nissan truck against a blue gum tree, attached a garden hose to the exhaust pipe, and rolled up the window to his car. He turned on his walkman and rested his head against his backpack until he died of carbon monoxide poisoning.

Carter has become a symbol in the arts. In music, Manic Street Preachers recorded a song about him, with his name as its title. In literature, Mark Z. Danielewski based his character Will Navidson off of Carter, and even described a photograph identical to Carter's Sudanese child in his novel. In theater, the Junction Avenue Theater Company uses the character of Saul to portray the difficulties of being a photographer in Apartheid South Africa in their play Tooth and Nail.

Excerpts from Cater's suicide note read: "I'm really, really sorry. The pain of life overrides the joy to the point that joy does not exist...depressed ... without phone ... money for rent ... money for child support ... money for debts ... money! ... I am haunted by the vivid memories of killings & corpses & anger & pain ... of starving or wounded children, of trigger-happy madmen, often police, of killer executioners... I have gone to join Ken if I am that lucky."

Sedih tengok gambar budak2 yang kelaparan sebegitu.  Tapi lagi sedih bila lihat umat yang suka membazir dan membuang makanan sesuka hati.  Terutamanya kalau makan secara bufett.  Kalau tak penuh pinggah tak sah agaknya.  Akhirnya bukan semua makanan yang diambil tadi habis dimakan tapi dibiarkan terbuang saja.  Semuanya hanya kerana sifat tamak nak merasa semua makanan yang terhidang bagaikan tak ada hari lain lagi untuk mencubanya.  Bayangkan apakan reaksi budak2 tu sekiranya melihat pembaziran sebegitu rupa.

dia patut mengambil tu sbg iktibar, bantu org lain
yg lepas usah dikenang
kadang2 Allah mmg nk suruh kita buat silap supaya kite gheti bahasa sket di kemudian hari

burung hering tu agaknya dah nampak budak tu mcm bangkai bernyawa..
mana pegi mak diaaa T T

NoX

Bergenang air mata tgk gmbr2 ni... jom la kita hargai semua makanan halal yg terhidang d hadapan kita... makan smpi habis dan licin tu pun sunnah nabi SAW... x payah la smpi memaki2 makanan klu tak sedap sbb tu la rezeki yg Allah nk bagi kita pada hari tu... syukur bumi kita ni masih kaya dgn makanan...

Aku sedih dengan budak tu. Dia dah tak larat nak berjalan lagi dan burung tu memang tak teragak2 untuk terkam dia. Sampai hati photographer tu. Kalau aku jadi photographer tu pon memang aku menyesal tak sudah sebab tak membantu budak tu. Gambar ni memang gambar terbaik dari semua segi, gambar yang memberi keinsafan dan juga gambar yg mencetuskan kontrovesi kepada pemiliknya juga.
