EXTRA CREDIT

1. The man that was killed by the subway had been trying to calm down a panhandler that had been harassing passenger when he was pushed by the panhandler. The man fell onto the tracks and was unable to pull himself back out. The photographer was there at the time and took the photo.
2. The photographer says he took the photo as a way to use his flash to warn the oncoming train. 
3. I do think the photographer had a right to take the photo he did, especially after he knew he was unable to help.
4. I do not believe that the photographer did his absolute best to help the man because it says that "after being unable to help [the man] himself" that was when the photographer took the photo. But there is no specification as to what the photographer did to help the man. He could have called to someone to help them, taken that photo, or had taken his photo real quick and continued trying to help the man.
5. I agree with the decision to run the photo on the front page of the New York Post because it is news that happened and it's the media's job to share this news and tell the truth. It seems heartless, especially to the family of them man who now see that no one helped save his life, but it's all about sharing what happened to the public, giving them the details and maybe to help stop similar situations from happening in the future.
6. It seems cold, but a photojournalist's job is to capture the images of life and that is what needs to be their main focus. A photojournalist must not get involved with their image, for they will get sucked in and possibly end up just like Kevin Carter. Photojournalists are just present to capture what is happening and then they must move on.
7. I do not think it is ethically acceptable for a photographer to involve themselves into the situation they capture, for they are suppose to be a fly on the wall. If the photographer involves themselves in the image, then they are not capturing the true truth because they have no altered it once they involve themselves.
8. Photojournalists should always try to avoid influencing events as they happen because they are just present to capture the situation to later share with the public. If photojournalist try to influence or involve themselves they could put their lives at risk,  and it should be more like they don't exist at all.
9. I think the most appropriate response that could be given would be one that talks about the quality of the image, rather then what is going on in the image. It's so cold and heartless, but as a photographer's job there needs to be a focus on the lighting of the image, the emotions that the image give you and the quality present. Photographers have to to disconnect themselves from the situation they capture because then they will never be able to use their photos or share then and would probably lose their jobs for not giving away their photos. It's tragic what happened to the man but to no fault of the photographer's. He needs to stay uninvolved to capture the image just as it is.
