Extra credit for exam

1. The man was pushed by a panhandler in New York City. The photographer was able to take the photo by trying to get the driver to notice his flash and hopefully stop the train.
2. The photographer said he took the picture to warn the driver of the train that there was a man about to be killed by the train. He wanted the driver to see the flash of the camera.
3. I definitely do not think the man should have taken the photo. He could have been a hero and tried to save the man instead of taking the photo of the man about to die.
4. No I do not think this was a good option. He should have saved the man instead of taking the picture.
5. I agree that the photo should be on the front page of the New York post because it shows how careful you have to be in the city. Dangerous people do bad things to other people, so people should be aware.
6. For most photojournalist, the want to take life risking photos instead of stopping bad things from happening. This is because they want there photos to go places and it helps their career.
7. Yes because if they were in that situation they could help the person who is in danger.
8. Yes because people are more important than a photograph.
9.  The photographers commenting felt that the photographer who took the photo should have done something to save the man.

4. No it is not acceptable to change a person's appearance in photoshop because young girls want to look like the photoshopped version of a model and expect to look perfect, and they start feeling insecure about themselves.

6. I guess it is okay to change the contrast of the photo but not the person.
