FOTO PULITZER 1994


Sudan, en 1994 Kevin Carter tomo la foto de esta infante que se arrastraba a el centro de ayuda de la ONU a un kilometro de su hogar mientras es acechada por un buitre. Inmediatamente al tomar la foto, Carter se fue, se gano el Pulitzer de 1994 y tres meses despues se suicida por la depresion de haber dejado a su suerte a la infante, la foto le dio la vuelta al mundo y muestra no solo la miseria y hambre de ciertas naciones, sino la cobardia o valor del artista para tomar la foto y enfrentarse a esa imagen y ese momento.

Carter escribio despues sobre la foto lo siguiente:

Dear God,

I promise I will never waste my food no matter how bad it can taste and how full I may be. I pray that He will protect this little boy, guide and deliver him away from his misery. I pray that we will be more sensitive towards the world around us and not be blinded by our own selfish nature and interests.

I hope this picture will always serve as a reminder to us that how fortunate we are and that we must never ever take things for granted.

Let's make a prayer for the suffering in anywhere anyplace around the globe and send this friendly reminder to others Think & look at this...when you complain about your food and the food we wasted daily........

Aunque siga brillando la luna...



So we´ll go no more a roving
so late into the night,
Though the heart be still as loving,
and the moon be still as bright.

For the sword outwears its sheath,
and the soul wears out the breast,
and heart must pause to breathe,
and love itself must rest.

Though the night was made for loving,
and the day returns too soon,
yet we´ll go no more a roving
by the light of the moon.
