"Picture Of The Day" Thread

[Archie Moses]

I saw this picture one night and it had such a big impact on me that I now donate as often as I can.

The guy that took this pic killed himself because of it.

Forgive me.. but is that true?

Forgive me.. but is that true?

Not in particular for this pic but for all the bad things he saw during his times in Africa including apartheid, genocide, civil war etc.

They shot a movie about his life story.

That one;

^ I've read more than enough nasty stuff about Bill Gates, the Clinton's, Warren Buffett, and even that ******* Jimmy Carter.

That vulture picture is what these great people are fighting against. I get ill when people demonize them for their works in saving the poorest amongst us from the most basic threats.

I don't see the relevance. Who said that any of those people were the cause of this childs suffering?

My previous post about that picture below:

jazz_fanatic, this picture was very famous in Turkey. It was used a lot on the calendars etc by the religious people and some communist groups as a propaganda material. There were also controversies over hypothetical questions like why didn't he help the child and he tried to catch a nice photo instead.

But you can find some basic info about the conditions of the place and the moment of the picture on wiki page of the photographer who committed suicide after a year he took the photo.

A quote from the photographer's suicide note...

"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."

On the other hand, I have heard that Bill eats babies.
