Final Extra Credit

1. The man in the subway was pushed by a another man whilst trying to defend himself the the other people in the subway. The photographer claims that he was using his camera flash to warn the train driver and was unable to help Han, the man that was about to be killed. 
2. The photographer claims he took the photo to use the flash to warn the train driver and try and get him to stop.
3. I think, if the photographer was entirely unable to help, that taking the photo was an okay thing to do. I think he maybe should have tried to help the man or gotten other people in the subway to help the man, but if he did all he could, there was no harm in capturing the event.
4. Judging by the details given in the article, I think he did the best he could. he probably could have tried harder to save the man's life, but his instinct directed him to take the photo.
5. I do not agree with the decision to run the photo on the front page because it wasn't used to display a point about a cause or an issue, but just to illustrate what had happened in the subway. The picture doesn't alert the reader about a common problem or try to persuade the to stay safe in the subway, but simply tells the story of the event and wasn't necessary to graphically scar some readers.
6. I think stopping bad things from happening is more important if you're the only one that can ell, but if there are others working to stop the problem I think pictures can be taken.
7. I think it is ethically acceptable because there is a certain line of what is okay to photograph and what isn't, and the photographer should help the situation if it crosses that line.
8. I think photojournalists should avoid influencing the situation, unless it is a dire necessity, and record history and events accurately as they happen. 
9. I agree with the cain that it was highly unlikely that his camera was already in the settings o shoot in the dark subway with a very high shutter speed to capture the image and frame it so perfectly. I think his focus was taking a good picture, not trying to save the man.
