    There are hidden deceptions in these photos--they are taken to support a photographer's activism and ideology.

    UGANDA. SIMPLY. "This example of emotive imagery is of child in Uganda holding hands with a missionary. The stark contrast between the two people serves as a reminder of the gulf in wealth between developed and developing countries. Mike Wells, the photographer, took this picture to show the extent of starvation in Africa. He took it for a magazine, and when they went 5 months without printing it, he decided to enter it into a competition. However, Wells has stated that he is against winning a compeition with a picture of a starving boy. "

    Some great photos - talk about being in the right place at the right time. I completely agree with some of the comments above above saying that it's photos like these that are responsible for everyone trying so hard now to help third world countries - Kevin Carter for example (the photographer of the last photo) might not have helped the child for 20 minutes, but by getting such a meaningful photo like he did has helped the world realise how much these children need help!

    This shocking photo depicts a starving Sudanese child being stalked by a patient vulture. It is a horrific picture that gave people a true look at the dire condition in Sub-Saharan Africa.
