thanks for sharing that AL.
My heart breaks for that poor man. He seems to have been a very sensitive soul who was both appalled and driven by the photos he took.
Feel free to make comments on any of my shots

It does sound like there was a lot more to his suicide than just the photos/experiences he saw and took.
That's some photo though. I'm glad we sponsor a little girl in The Gambia.

Why I posted the suicide note, it was more than just his work and what he saw, but for someone who seems to have been prone to thoughts of suicide and seems from what I read and heard he was manic depressive to begin with so it must have been very tough on him to be photographing those environments.
