Extra Credit

1) Ki Suk Han was pushed in the train pit by a stranger that was harassing other passersby, after trying to calm down the man. The photographer claims he was snapping pictures not to capture the scene, but to warn the train operator with the flash.
2) The photographer says he took the photo to warn the train operator with his camera flash, but it wasn't effective.
3) I think that he was just doing his job, however, I would have most likely tried to help the man over snapping photographs.
4) No, I don't think the photographer did the best thing he could have done because he didn't even attempt to pull him from the train tracks.
5) I do and don't agree with the run of the photo for the publicity, for Ki Suk Han's relatives to see that would be devastating. The New York Post put it out there for views and to publicize it which is understandable, but very controversial.
6) From a job stand point definitely to take the photo and capture that moment, but when a life is in danger I personally think it would be better to do anything I can to save the life.
7) I think that it depends on the situation at hand. If a situation would put both the photographer and the persons involved in danger then I'd say no. However, if the photographer can help effectively, then yes I think they should get involved.
8) Yes, I think that photographers should not encourage what is taking place. Just stay out of the way and snap pictures of what's going on.
9) I think the most appropriate, and response that stands out to me, is " How tasteless of the NY Post to publish such a grusome picture for this mans family to see. No one helped this man there were numerous videos and pictures being snapped, yet not one person tried to help save him. Disgusting. "
