1. The man was killed by being pushed onto the tracks by a panhandler who was harassing passengers. He tried to break it up, but instead got pushed onto the tracks. The photographer was able to take the picture because after he was not able to help the man up, he started taking picture with his flash; hoping that the train would see it and stop in time.
2. He took the photo because he was trying to stop the train with his flash and captured the moment.
3. Personally, I don't think that taking the photo was a smart decision because that man's life was more important than a picture on a cover.
4. He didn't do the best he could've done. He could've gotten some people standing around and helped the man up together. Instead he just sat there and flashed his camera.
5. I think it wasn't a good idea because someone's life was taken when it could've been saved. And now it goes public, showing everyone how the photographer could've saved the person. New York Post probably got a lot of reports.
6. I think that the more important thing to them is capturing images of life because if that wasn't the case the man on the tracks would be alive and well.
7. No, it's not ethically acceptable because if something bad happens while their taking the picture, then they didn't do anything to prevent the situation from happening.
8. They shouldn't always avoid influencing events because if they avoided it then they would be there to capture the event.
9. The best thing to do as a photographer is not respond on my part. The best thing you can say is sorry and lock your doors because there will be a lot of people calling you and make you question your job.
