extra credit for final exam


  1.  The man that was killed by the subway, Ki Suk Han, was pushed onto the tracks after trying to calm down a panhandler who was harassing other pedestrians and was unable to lift himself back onto the platform. The photographer was able to take the photo because he was "using his camera flash to warn the train's operator."
  2. The photographer said he took the photo maybe to be noticed positively, but it really only brought him negative attention.
  3. Personally, I think the photographer should've at least tried to pull the man out of the tracks instead of taking the picture. 
  4. No, because he could've attempted to grab the guys arm with someone else and pull him out. And if he failed at this, than at least he tried. Trying is better than just standing there and watching the poor man die. I understand he was probably panicked, but still…
  5. I don't agree or disagree with the newspaper running the photo. I think it's important that the public know about what happened, so maybe it can be prevented next time.
  6. To a photojournalist, its more important to them to capture the images of life as it happens, even if it's probably not the right thing to do.
  7. I'm not really sure about this question, but I think that the photographer could involve themselves in a life or death situation as long as they were trying to help reduce the chance of it becoming more of a death event. A life is more important than a photo.
  8. No, because sometimes it important for people to know about these things so we can prevent them from happening in the future.
  9. The first one because it really shows how some feel a photograph is more important than saving a life.
