More info about the vulture picture... I remember reading from a book on photojournalism that there in fact was a Red Cross or similiar aid nearby, that there were numerous other children in same condition, and that everyone was told not to touch the children in fear of epidemic infection.

If I remember correctly, he even said to have driven the bird away after taking the pic. Not sure about that though.

 

That picture affects feelings more than thousand words. I think people blaming him mustn't have thought the whole thing through carefully enough. I'm sure it would bring comfort to some people's lives had he helped the child. It would make the picture much easier to look at, and that I think is the main reason why people might have criticized him.

I read an article about the photo just after he committed sewers. It might have been in time magazine I'm not sure. I read that The child died shortly after the photo was taken. He was rather shaken by the ordeal and regretful that he did nothign for the child. It was a while ago now so i dont remember much. I dont enjoy the photo.
