EXTRA CREDIT

1. Explain what happened to the man that was killed by the subway and how the photographer was able to take the photo. 
The man was trying to calm down a panhandler who was harassing passerby's who then pushed him in front of the on coming train. The photographer was running in front of the train taking pictures with flash to get the drivers attention.

2. Why did the photographer say he took the photo?
The photographer was using the camera flash to get the train drivers attention to hopefully have him stop the train.

3. Do you think the photographer should have taken the photo?
No, I think he should've tried to help the man out rather than trying to get the drivers attention.

4. Do you think the photographer did the best thing he could have done in this situation? Why or why not?
No, I think he could have continued trying to help the man up from the tracks or get some others near by to help, because in the photo there is on one by him except the photographer.

5. Do you agree or disagree with the decision to run the photo on the front page of the New York Post? Explain why or why not.
From a seller stand point i can see this image is a attention grabber and most likely will sell very well, but i don't agree because the family would see this mage and it shows no one was there to help the man.

6. What is more important to a photojournalist, capturing images of life as it happens or stopping bad things from happening? Why or why not?
A photojournalists job is to capture occurring images of life as they happen because that is what they do as a living, but they should also keep in mind they are also a person just like anyone else that should help someone in a life threatening situation.

7. Do you think it is ever ethically acceptable for a photographer to involve himself/herself in a situation that he or she photographs? Explain why or why not.
Yes in this case I believe it to be acceptable because he would be tying to save someones life. In other not so drastic events it might be not as acceptable.

8. Should photojournalists always avoid influencing events as they happen? Explain your answer. 
No not always, because some events such as saving wildlife influences a good cause.

9. After reading the responses from the professional photographers, what stands out as the most appropriate response for a photographer to this situation.
That the photographer should've put down his camera to help the man because trying is trying and the cameras flash was an excuse fro not helping him.
