Extra Credit Questions
1. The man was pushed onto the tracks after he tried to calm down another many in the subway who was harassing other passerby's. The man was able to take the photo after trying to stop the . train using his flash on the camera.
2. After not being able to pull the man up from the tracks he decided to grab his camera and take photos in hope that the train driver would see the flash and try to stop the train.
3. I don't think he should've, he could have gotten at least one other person to try and help him up if he could no do it single handedly, he could've tried a lot harder to save this man from death.
4. Honestly he really should've tried to get someone else to help him or put all of his weight and strength into saving the mans life, instead of taking a couple photos to use flash. If he hadn't taken the photos maybe he'd still be alive because it's a lot easier to left someone up from the tracks instead of getting a train to stop in just a little bit.
5. I disagree, imagine how you would feel if your friend or loved one was all over the cover of a newspaper with a photo taken seconds before their death. It's quite disgusting and offensive, I found it really hard to even look at the photo, let alone read what the words on the front cover said.
6. It doesn't matter if your the most famous photo journalist in the world you never take photos of things like this instead of stopping death from an innocent man, I would never be able to live with the guilt for anymore than a second.
7. I do not, at all think it's ever okay to ethically involve yourself in these kinds of situations for photos, it's gross and rude.
8. Yes, because what if something like this happens again, a photographer might think of taking a good photo instead of helping the situation because oh you'll at least get a good photo.
9. The response "I don’t believe a word of that photographer crap. He didn’t even try to help the guy get back on the platform. His first instinct was to take pictures, and that’s exactly what he did, because that’s what they do. He wasn’t out to “warn” the conductor, what a lame excuse for not helping. Well, he got his pictures. Everyone “gasped” – and no one helped. The guy looks skinny, couldn’t lift him up? Bull. And HE was actually trying to help THEM from the lunatic![#]" was the best response because it describes how everyone is probably feeling to this incident.
