-Nick Ut is a Vietnamese photographer born in the town of Long An, then part of South Vietnam.

-Nick Ut's 1972 shot of 9-year-old Kim Phuc, running naked down a highway after her village was bombarded with napalm, became one of the most famous photos of the Vietnam War.

Phan Thi Kim Phuc was crying because napalm - black, oily blazing jellied gasoline - was burning the skin off her back.

Paris Hilton was crying because she had just been told she had to serve her 23-day jail sentence in jail.Funny things, tears. They can be triggered by the happiest moments or the saddest.They can be set off by brutal pain and sheer terror, as they were for Kim Phuc.Or they can simply mean you're feeling sorry for yourself. Like Paris.But these tears, it turns out, had something in common: Exactly thirty-five years apart, they both ended up in the lens of Nick Ut's camera.

-Kevin Carter born in Johannesburg, Carter was an award-winning South African photojournalist.

Starving Child

Famine in Sudan

In March 1993 Carter made a trip to southern Sudan. The sound of soft, high-pitched whimpering near the village of Ayod attracted Carter to an emaciated Sudanese toddler. The girl had stopped to rest while struggling to the food camp, whereupon a vulture had landed nearby.

Kevin Carter later described the incident... he waited about 20 minutes, hoping that the vulture would spread its wings. It didn't. Carter snapped the haunting photograph and chased the vulture away. However, Carter came under heavy criticism for just photographing and not helping the little girl

"The man adjusting his lens to take just the right frame of her suffering might just as well be a predator, another vulture on the scene."

The photograph was sold to The New York Times where it appeared for the first time on March 26, 1993. Practically overnight hundreds of people contacted the newspaper to ask whether the child had survived, leading the newspaper to run a special editor's note saying the girl had enough strength to walk away from the vulture, but that her ultimate fate was unknown.

Some of his Personal Quote

-I prefer to date older women because they don't try to act older like younger girls but because they try to act younger.

-I'm not good at future planning. I don't plan at all. I don't know what I'm doing tomorrow. I don't have a day planner and I don't have a diary. I completely live in the now, not in the past, not in the future.

-I feel like I'm wasting time if I repeat myself. I can't say I'm proud of my work. It's the same with everything I do: the day I say 'It's good' is the day I should start doing something else.

-I never had money, and I was very happy without it. When I die, my money's not gonna come with me. My movies will live on - for people to judge what I was as a person. I just want to stay curious.

Heath Andrew Ledger (4 April 1979 – 22 January 2008)
