Question:

I know this sounds really bad, but I need to find a picture one of my past teachers shown me!. It was of a little girl in, I think, Africa!. She's laying on the ground starving to death and a buzzard is flocking around her!. My teacher told me the photographer commited suicide shortly after taking the picture!. I don't know his name or anything!. All I know is the description of the picture and I want to write a paper on it and the effects it had on the photographer!. Thank You!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Is a buzzard a vulture or eagle!? Because we used that pic too for Social Studies!. It was of this Sudanese girl who was starving and there was this vulture waiting for her to die so it could eat her (ew!) and yeah the photographer commited suicide because he found out that after he took the picture the girl had died and he could of helped her!. Hope this and/or the websites help! Good luck with your paper! :DWww@QuestionHome@Com
