Final Extra Credit

 A man was harassing people at the subway station , and when Ki Suk Han tried to peacefully stop him, the man pushed Han into the path of where the subway was arriving. Photographer Umar Abassi said he tried to help Han , but when he realized he couldn't he starting taking pictures hoping that the flash would warn the driver. 

Umar Abassi said he took the photo so that the flash going off would alert the driver.
I think it was good idea that Abassi took the photo for many reasons.
Although Umar tried to help Han, I think he could have tried to help more. He could have helped Han more or gotten other people to help him as well. 

I agree that the photo should be on the front page of the newspaper. I agree , because it alerts people of what really happened and they can actually see how it happened through the picture. 

To a photo journalist capturing what is happening in life is more important than trying to stop things from happening. I think this , because that is how photo journalist make a living and maybe if they stop something from happening they ruined their chance of having their picture on a front page. 

I think it is acceptable because they were the ones who photographed that thing so it is their right to involve their selves.
I think that a photo journalist should influence events as they happen , because just them photographing the event is influencing it. 

The most appropriate thing for a photographer at this point in time would be to photograph the event. Some people might not agree with this , but this is how some people make a living.
