Extra Credit

1. The man was pushed onto the railroad tracks and wasn't able to escape on time and was crushed by the train and was pronounced dead at St. Luke's Hospital. The photographer was able to take the picture by getting out his camera super fast and taking a picture of him in seconds.
2. He took the picture to catch the drivers attention with the flash so he could notice something was wrong. But he wasn't able to catch the train's driver and he couldn't stop in time.
3. No he should of at least made an attempt of saving him instead of taking pictures of him about to get crushed. Since he had time to take pictures of him he would of probably had time to save his life. 
4. No he didn't make the right decision because there were other ways he could have gotten the drivers attention. There was also other ways he could have helped the man and could still be living if he would have tired to help him.
5. I disagree with posting the picture on the newspaper because it lets the family see there loved one before something tragic was about to happen to him. The family might also see this as disrespecting a person who is now dead and showing them on the front page of the news paper before getting crushed by a train.
6. Whats more important to a photojournalist is capturing a picture because they would be known for that image which will open new opportunities for them later on in the future. But if they save a life they will be a hero for maybe a week then everybody will forget about him.
7. I think it is ethically for photographers to put themselves in the situation their pictures are taken because maybe they can get a better future or a better understanding of how to handle the situation the person is going through in the photograph.
8. Yes they should because they might make the event bigger and cause more trouble and make change what really happened in the event.
9. What stands out is how they have to think of everything of what they can do to help a person out and try to decide what the best choice is for their safety and the persons safety. To try to avoid more people of getting involved and making the problem bigger.
