Taken by Mike Wells in April 1980, the photograph shows hand of a emaciated, starving Ugandan boy in the hand of a missionary. Wells took the photo in Karamoja district of Uganda. Later he sent the photo for publication but it remained unpublished. The publishing company, instead of publishing it, entered the photo in a competition. And the photograph won the prize. Mike Wells felt ashamed that he took the photograph of a starving child. He himself did not intend to enter it in the competition as he was against winning competition with pictures of hungry poor people.
