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 known as Ki Suk Han was ran over by a train after being shoved onto the tracks by someone unknown. The photographer was able to take the photos because he was there at the scene of the crime and he took out his camera shooting pictures of Han's final moments.
2. Why did the photographer say he took the photo?
The reason this man says he took the photos is because it was incidental.

3. Do you think the photographer should have taken the photo?
I do think he should've taken the photo and I don't.

4. Do you think the photographer did the best thing he could have done in this situation? Why or why not?

No, i don't think he did the best thing because like most people are saying, he could've saved this mans' life and he choose to make photos out of his death.
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.

i don't think it's right running the photo on the front page because it can split some people, most people think that this situation was handled wrong and some people don't think he could've done anything about it and putting this on the Post is just telling most people that the New York Post that they are alright with the photographers actions even though it's not okay that he did that.
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?

i think stopping bad things from happening should be the most important thing to a photojournalist because he's human. You're putting a life out in risk and capturing images is only benefiting you because it's your job. Photographers need to learn the difference from stepping out and living instead of staying in their photographer zone and just snapping pictures. Yes, shooting photos might show people a side the photo but saving someone's life should be more important than a photo that people will get over.
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.

No, it's not. They should be considered a murderer as well for not helping when they could've helped or even saved that persons life but if they do nothing, and just get photos out of it for their own selfish benefit... that doesn't make anything right.
8. Should photojournalists always avoid influencing events as they happen? Explain your answer.

Yes they should because they could be moving someone with their story or they can move people with a past event that happened with a sad outcome because they didn't do anything about it. 

9. After reading the responses from the professional photographers, what stands out as the most appropriate response for a photographer to this situation.

Stan Alost, because of the saying in bold at the end of the interview.
