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.

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.

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.

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.
