  • For the full story on Ken Carter and his group of photographer friends, get the book called "The Bang Bang Club". It deals in detail with just that question... and I think you could say that people asking him that question all the time is ONE of the reasons he committed suicide.

  • The book offers a range of possible reasons for Kevin's death, not least of which was his increasing drug and alcohol dependency, and his unstable private life...

  • Kevin Carter made me become a photographer.

  • Kevin Carter´s life and death will always intrigue people everywhere. It makes us think about human nature, politics, personal drama and so. Besides the documentaries about him and and the bang-bang club, I hope someone produces a non-hollywood-schema movie, someone like Michael Winterbottom.

  • Money, money, money! No humanity

  • The move ''The Bang-Bang Club'' is out now. It's based on João Silva's book.

    Peace and Love People!

  • why is it that the english guys are always liberal and the same with the media?. I never believe anything that comes out of an english mans mouth its nothing but bias,subjective , liberal bullshit.

  • @BoxKickboxMMA how can you say that? kevin has shown us how bad it is hunger in other parts of the world. what have you done for them? whether the effect as good as done Kevin Carter?

  • The Bang Bang Club movie was pretty good. Very sad movie but portrayed the four friends well, including Kevin Carter.

  • Amazing, isn't it?

    The guilt that can haunt you, after you profit off a suffering child whom you left to die.

    I can find no sympathy for him. Even in death he remained a more fortunate soul than the child in the photo.

    This man went easily, resting in his truck, not crawling through the dirt, hoping to make it to salvation.

  • @LuvRemyanJack the point is that the photo shows the vulture stalking the child, anticipating death. The vulture affirms what our human arrogance would have us rather not believe, a human susceptibility to nature.

  • im helping a fellow friend (photography student) put together a project about Carter, doe sanyone know some more vids and and where i can get some good iamges of him and his work? thanks a bunch.
