The vulture is waiting for the girl to die and to eat her. The photograph was taken by South African photojournalist, Kevin Carter, while on assignment to Sudan. He took his own life a couple of months later due to depression. In March Kevin Carter made a trip to Sudan. Near the village of Ayod, Carter found a girl who had stopped to rest while struggling to a United Nations feeding center, whereupon a vulture had landed nearby. Careful not to disturb the bird, he waited for twenty minutes until the vulture was close enough, positioned himself for the best possible image, and only then chased the vulture away. At this point, Carter was probably not yet aware that he had shot one of the most controversial photographs in the history of photojournalism. This was the situation for the girl in the photo taken by Carter.

Marriage to the right person is wonderful. I am hopeful and do feel some healing. My father told him it's never too late to leave whether we are married with kids or just engaged. The sad part is that he does not understand what I go through or if I complain or try to make him understand about what's going on at home or my feelings. I can't quite put my finger on it. I am deeply hurt and am a very lonely doctor's wife. Being what you can even for 2 hours a week will help. No one knows your situation the way you do. I have no idea if he stayed. Thank you for this.
