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 pushed on to the train tracks, and the photographer has set  his setting and snapped the shot to get the drivers attention but it was far to late.
 
2. Why did the photographer say he took the photo?
To alert the Subway train driver. 
 
 
3. Do you think the photographer should have taken the photo?
No if he had time to change the setting on his camera he could have at least tried to save the man.  
 
 
4. Do you think the photographer did the best thing he could have done in this situation? Why or why not?
No. Because as I stated above. He still could have went over there and grabbed the man, He may have suffered a torn leg or broken bones but his life would have been spared.  
 
 
 
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.
No. Why would you do that, The photographer still tried to save the man life I would at least gave him some credit in stead of turning on him.  
 
 
 
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?

Well it all depends because. Some photos can be fore lives greater things or they can turn very bad. Like the hurricane Katrina story. The guy posted the picture so he was able to get more help.
 
 
 
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.
 Once again it depends on the situation. If they are trying to save a life then I would. If they are doing it for the fame factor then no.  
 
 
8. Should photojournalists always avoid influencing events as they happen? Explain your answer. 

No because it might save someone's life. Help them in a sticky situation, Find someone missing child and they didn't know was missing. Its small things like this that make a difference in our society and it doesn't matter if we shoot the photos or not.  They will be someone Else's treasure.
 
 
 
9. After reading the responses from the professional photographers, what stands out as the most appropriate response for a photographer to this situation.
I love the one by  Vincent. He was in a similar situation wanting to help and in a way her did. They show that he did something to help not for personal gain.

Her eyes and eyebrows are changed, Her neck is made londer and skinner. And something is done to er lips.

  I don't beleive not. It's just showing America that you can't look that perfect with technology.

3. Are there circumstances in which it would be more ethically wrong to do this type of manipulation? In the state of fashion it is fin. But in the real world when you are shooting something that's a event or something you doing in that point of view you don't want to manipulate the photo its just a not good thing to do.

4. What types of changes are OK, and what aren't?
The changing your apperance is sometimes ok but some times not. Like if you want to do it for like job or something then its fine. But if its for your home and other things you don't want to do that because well it your family and friends you want them to see them as they are.

Fashion photography is making someone look to perfect, when Photojournalism you are capturing the essence of how a person is.
