Mike Wells - Uganda
===================
1980

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.

====================

World Press Photo of the Year: 1980 Mike Wells, United Kingdom. Karamoja district, Uganda, April 
1980. Starving boy and a missionary. About the image Wells felt indignant that the same 
publication that sat on his picture for five months without publishing it, while people were 
dying, entered it into a competition. He was embarrassed to win as he never entered the 
competition himself, and was against winning prizes with pictures of people starving to death.
