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 was brutally pushed into the tracks by an upset panhandler who was harassing passerby. He tried to calm him down but got pushed. 

2. Why did the photographer say he took the photo?
He was trying to use his flash to alert the train driver. 

3. Do you think the photographer should have taken the photo?
Yes

4. Do you think the photographer did the best thing he could have done in this situation? Why or why not?
Yes, because the train was already coming up and at the rate of how fast the train is coming, the guy in the tracks would already be gone. The photographer's live could have been taken too. 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 disagree with the photo being on the cover but it could have in the magazine because the photo is sort of graphic. 

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? 
Stopping the bad things from happening because one life that was saved could save many lives of others. 

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.
Yes because that took the picture and they have the right to do whatever they want to do with the picture. 8. Should photojournalists always avoid influencing events as they happen? Explain your answer. 
No because in order for the world to find out what's going on, we need proof and evidence to actually prove that it's real. 

9. After reading the responses from the professional photographers, what stands out as the most appropriate response for a photographer to this situation. 
I think the first response was the most appropriate because they didn't say any cruel and mean comments about the photographer but about the photo itself.

Academic Shoot Photos (Post Shoot Reflection)

Rule of Lines. This is rule of lines because the lines from the ceiling lead to the lines on the top shelf and the lines on the windows. The subject in the photo is the lines that lead to the lines in the windows. The subject is very clear. Rule of Balance. This is rule balance because the shape that her arm makes while she is writing is a triangle and in the back the paper, her folder, and her phone all make a rectangle. The main subject is the shape her arm makes. The subject is very clear. Rule of Thirds. This is rule of thirds because the direct subject is not in the middle of the photo, she is off to the side. The main subject is the girl on the left side of the photo. The subject is very clear. Rule of Simplicity.

American Soldier

A. What is the most powerful image from the pictures printed in the Denver Post over the three weeks they published images from the year of coverage? Why? I think the most powerful image was the picture on 22A because it is a picture of Ian Fisher sitting all alone looking down thinking about how this is going to be the rest of his life. The picture is just really moving because the way I interpret it sends me a strong message. B. How do the images work together to tell a story? These images work together to tell a story by showing Ian's journey form where he first began to where he finished his army journey. It has showed how much he matured over his time that he has served our country. C. How do the captions enhance the photographs? The captions enhance the photographs by adding more detail and sending more of a message than the actual story itself can tell. D. Summarize the story of Ian Fisher, based just on the captions. Ian Fisher is beginning to start his career...
