The Real Delial - House Of Leaves 502x544

The pulitzer prize winning photograph that Navidson supposedly took. Delial was what he named the girl, and his guilt for not intervening weighs heavy on his mind, a reference to Carter, who also felt that same guilt.

	ansoRATh said: This is not Delial. Here is footnote 336, relating to the description of Navidson's Delial: 336. This is clearly based on Kevin Carter's 1994 Pulitzer Prize-winning photograph of a vulture preying on a tiny Sudanese girl who collapsed on her way to a feeding center. Carter enjoyed many accolades for the shot but was also accused of gross insensitivity. The Florida St. Petersburg Times wrote: "The man adjusting his lens to take just the right frame of her suffering must just as well be a predator, another vulture on the scene." Regrettably constant exposure to violence and deprivation, coupled with an increased dependancy on drugs exacted a high price. On July 27, 1994 Carter killed himself. posted 3 years ago.
