extra credit Train story


1. Explain what happened to the man that was killed by the subway and how the photographer was able to take the photo. 

2. The photographer said he took the photo because he thought the flash from the camera would catch the train conductors attention. 

3. I honestly don't know what to think because sure its an amazing photo but its such a horrible sight to see. I would feel horrible if i took that photo and couldn't help the person  out because its basically taunting them. 

4. I believe the photographer did the best he could do only because he tried to help with the flash. we honestly don't know the situation, all we know is that trains are lightning fast and it would be hard to save a person on their death bed.

5. i Dont agree that they ran the photo in the newspaper because it is very offensive to the family of both people the photographer and most importantly the man on the tracks. I would not want to see a family member in a photo about to be killed. 

6. For a journalist i would think capturing things in the moment would be more important but on the other hand preventing the worst from happening would make a person feel better rather than taking a photo of a horrible action. later on in life they'll have that photo but they'll have to live with seeing the image in real life thinking of ways on how they could have prevented it. 

7. I don't think the photographer should get involved with a photo they've taken because then i gets too personal. all they're there for is to take the photo and possibly publish it. 

8. no. when 9-11 happened many photos were taken and are remember today. its not anyones fault that the photos were taken because most times when people take photos its because they want to remember it. 

9. It wasn't his fault he couldn't help the man thrown in his death. The photographer tried to help by turning on his flash to try to get the conductors attention and there was nothing that could be done in such a short time.
