1. The man was pushed in front of the train tracks and wasn't strong enough to pull himself back up. The photographer said he was able to take the photo using flash.
2. The photographer said he took the photo because he thought the flash could stop the train driver.
3. I think the photographer shouldn't have taken the photo. He should have kept trying to save the man or try to get help from other people around him.
4. No, I don't think he did the best thing he could've done because he should have tried harder to save the man's life.
5. I disagree with the decision to run the photo on the front page of the New York Post because it is very sad for his family to see that nobody helped but had the time to take the photo also the photographer is getting fame for it when he should've helped the man. The headline is also very disrespectful.
6. I think that capturing images of life as it happens is most important to a photojournalist because they, for the most part, make for a good story.
7. No, i don't think it is ethically acceptable for a photographer to involve himself/herself in a situation that he or she photographs because a photo should be about the main subject and not of themselves or their lives.
8. Yes, photojournalists should avoid influencing events as they happen because the photos they capture should be in the moment events and real life events not something they plan to capture.
9. I think that the most appropriate response was the one that said, "What an age we live in when getting the picture is more important! I am appalled".
