Extra Credit

1. The man in the photo was pushed into the tracks after he tried to calm down a panhandler who had been harassing passersby. The photographer said that he was able to take the photo because he was flashing the camera trying to warn the train's operator.

2. The photographer said he was able to take the photo because he was there trying to help the main by singnaling the train's operator.

3. Yes and no. Thisis because I think that it was a good idea to shine the flash to get the attetion of somebody on the train, but I do not like how it ended up being the cover photo on magazines because it seems like he is betraying the man he was trying to help.

4. I think he did do the best he could because there was not any time to get to him to lift him out of the tracks and he didn't have many options to warn the train's operator.

5. I don't agree because I think it is disrespectful to publish the photo, especially after he tried to help the man. Also I think it is rude because the man had died. 

6. To some photojournalist it is more important to capture the image so that others can be  informed of what happened that day, such as 9/11. Also most of the times there is not  much that they can do.

7. Yes I think it is acceptale because in some situations like this one there might be an emergency to. 

8. No, becuase in some cases it can help and saving lives is more important than saving your photograph.

9. "Its a pretty awful situation, but even had the photographer tried to pull the guy up, what if he couldn't? (maybe the guy was too heavy or whatever) He'd definitely have been putting himself in significant danger as well. Not everyone is a hero and that train looks pretty darn close.... There's no good answer here and the help vs document debate (ala Kevin Carter) is one that will never cease - this is just another chapter in that story, unfortunately." I think that this response is the most appropriate because it is respectful.
