South African photographer Kevin Carter documented the violence and the tragedy during the Apartheid era. In 1984 he shot his first Time cover and ten years later he was awarded a Pulitzer Prize for a photograph of a vulture awaiting the death of a young Sudanese girl. After taking the photograph he "sat under a tree and cried and chain-smoked."
In April of 1994, only days after Carter received the Pulitzer Prize, his best friend and colleague photographer Ken Oosterbroek was shot while covering a firefight outside Johannesburg. Three months after the shooting, Carter (who was out celebrating the Pulitzer at the time of his closest friend's death) took his own life. His suicide note read, "I am haunted by the vivid memories of killing and corpses and anger and pain... of starving or wounded children, of trigger-happy madmen."
