Final Exam Extra Credit

1.  The man was pushed onto the train tracks by a panhandler. Before the train had killed him a photographer tried to help him out, but he couldn't. So he took out his camera and tried to use the flash to warn the trains operator.

2. The photographer took the photo because he was trying to warn the trains operator with his flash.

3. I don't think the photographer should have taken the photo, i think he should have continued to try to get the man out.

4. I don't think he did the best he could have done because I'm sure a grown man should have gotten another man out of a hole, the older man wasn't dead weight. They could have easily worked together to get the man out of the trains pathway.

5. I don't think the New York Post should have ran this story. To me it really isn't news and it was an accident that happened. I think there are more important things to publish than a man getting killed by a subway.

6. For a photojournalist capturing the moment is very important, but i also think stopping and helping is important also.

7. I think it is personally ethical for the photographer to get involved, if they can stop and actually help the person, then i think they should. If they know they can't do anything the no, they shouldn't help.


8. To some extent i think they should avoid influencing the photograph, but if its a life of death situation and they can help, then they should get involved.

9. As an appropriate response, the photographer should apologize and say that they should have done more than just try to warn the operator. And they should say: "at the time it sounded like a good idea, but i should have tried harder to get him out."
