story of kevin carter was sad. the above picture though shows a starving baby and a vulture waiting in background, but actually the story was different. the mother was with the baby and gone briefly away from the baby to collect food packets being distributed by a relief helicopter. there were a big vat of waste nearby and lot of vultures were there for it. suddenly carter finds this frame where the malnutritioned baby was waiting for his mother to arrive and the vulture sat in the background and he took the shot and presented a malformed reality of the actual situation.

he won pulitzer for it but also received vast criticism for wrong photojournalism. in his final days, carter accepted his fault as he has haunted by the memories of those days when he took this shot. finally, he committed suicide as he couldn’t bear the pain.

end of a very unfortunate story of yellow journalism.

Legendary guys, and tragic. Each one an exegesis on what we journos call Grief General: war-reporting related PTSD. One can become addicted to reporting on human suffering – and become a victim yourself. Like the Bang Bang Club.

There is direct physical cruelty and then the indirect ‘control’ cruelty. The latter causes the former.
The one is visually stark and the other is like the actions of a puppeteer – behind the scenes, killing by remote control.
Physical cruelty often starts with necessity and blind belief or emotional extreme – thereafter graduating to acting in drunkenness of power over another at a local level combined with greed.
Control cruelty is founded on greed, ego, grand thinking and sometimes, behind it is plain convenience and laziness!

How would one depict that?

Spot on with this write-up, I really assume this web site needs far more consideration. I’ll most likely be once more to learn way more, thanks for that info.

Hi Navai, No the question is not stupid. Its just that i won’t have too much info on these models. I had done the research at that time and since then many newer models have flooded the market. These are prosumer models – I have updated info only on the professional Nikon models. Thank you.
