781984 2009-06-13 09:29:00 Is there poverty and hunger in NZ? Sue Bradford and her mob would have us believe this!

I don't think so... www.imagef1.net.nz

It was a girl, actually.

The guy who took the picture eventually committed suicide, apparently after having no money left and haunted by the things he had photographed.

Yes there is.

No there aren't any people starving to death like the girl in the picture.

781991 2009-06-13 23:48:00 The parents of the children were busy taking food from the plane so they had left their children only briefly while they collected the food. This was the situation for the girl in the photo taken by Carter. A vulture landed behind the girl. To get the two in focus, Carter approached the scene very slowly so as not to scare the vulture away and took a photo from approximately 10 metres. He took a few more photos and then the vulture flew off.

Hmmm?

781992 2009-06-14 01:21:00 Friends of my parents did charity work over in africa (i think) and that screwed with them a bit. A lot of the time all you can do is take photos because theres only so much you can do to help

Like if your helping in a school of 40 kids and all of them are starving and naked where would you start helping? Take one kid home and feed and clothe him while the others continue suffering?
