1. A Queens resident, Ki Suk Han, was pushed in the path of an oncoming subway. He tried to lift himself but just wasn't strong enough. The photographer claims he couldn't lift him either so he set up his camera, hoping the train operator would see his flash and stop. Unfortunately the train didn't stop fast enough and killed Han.
2. The photographer took the photo to try to use his flash to warn the train operator to stop the train because their was someone in jeopardy.
3. I don't think he should have taken the photo because he could have been trying harder to save the mans life but instead he just captured his death. Even though he claims he was doing it to help, I think the real reason was to get himself a good picture.
4. I do not think the photographer did the best thing he could have done in this situation because he could have tried harder to pull the man up or try to get help from the people around but instead he set up his camera and took a photo.
5. I do agree with the decision to put this photo on the cover of the New York Post because there's no sense in waisting a picture that raises curiosity and can sell. The photo was already taken so why not use it.
6. It is more important to a photojournalist to capture life as it is happening because they want to be able to document everything and the more interesting, the better.
7. I do think it is ethically acceptable for photographers to involve themselves in situations that they photograph because they could be trying to stop something that can cause destruction from happening because its better to help rather than just sitting back and watch bad things happen.
8. Photographers should influence things to happen but only if they don't cause bad things to happen. But its okay to influence something that will sell and catch a lot of peoples attention.
9. The most relative response was the one saying how did he have enough time to take photos but not help the man.
