It makes you wonder what he saw that he DIDN'T photograph. That picture of the girl and the vulture. Did he "waste his life"? Really? His legacy. No reference here to the pics of the necklacing.
Winnie Mandela famously said "with our matches and our tyres we will reclaim our country". He was the first person to film a necklacing. He asked would those atrocities have occurred if there was nobody there to film them? He blamed himself. Almost a philosophy. If a tree falls and nobody is there to hear it, does it make a sound? Did he make those things happen because he was there waiting to film them?
A beautiful soul, the soul of an artist, scarred by what he had to work with, and what he saw. Like Vincent, he "took his life as lovers often do" and like Vincent "this world", at least the world he was forced to live in and record, "was never meant for one as beautiful as you".
