EXTRA CREDIT - Finals

1. A Queen's resident, Ki Suk Han was pushed in fromt of an on-coming subway train by a man who was harassing people in the subway. The photographer began taking photos only after he tried to save the man's life.
2. He said he only took pictures because he thought the flash might warn the conductor of the on-coming train that there was someone in danger.
3. I think that what really turned out to be a horrible photo, was only taken on accident. If the photographer said that he could do all he could to help, then I believe him. Taking those pictures was only done because of the flash that would go off to warn the conductor. He was trying to save the man's life.
4. I think he could have asked the people who were taking videos of it to help him. If he couldn't lift the man by himself, a few more people could have helped.
5. I completely disagree with everything that they did. No person's death should ever be spread across the front page of a magazine for everyone to see and judge. Someone DIED and they used it as a cover story with the words "Pushed on the subway track, this man is about to die". There is no respect in that, and no humanity. I have no respect for the people at that magazine.
6. I think that capturing life as it happens is more important. As their job, they have to capture photos that take our breath away. That is their goal. But in situations like this, where it is a matter of life or death, and what they are thinking about is saving a man's life or getting a great picture… that is wrong. It shouldn't be anyone's job to make that decision for someone else.
7. I think in a situation like this, it is always acceptable to involve yourself.
8. When a situation decides if someone lives or dies, ethics shouldn't matter. But when it is any other photo, they should take the pictures they see, not what they make.
9. They should have done more, and could have. Or at least delete the picture for no one to use. It is horribly wrong to have sold it for the magazine, or to have let anyone use it or see it. And it gives the situation a whole new meaning from what the photographer said it was.

Final Exam Review

Captions:

Sarah Chin and Cade Li, 18 (now Cade and Sarah Li) stand posing for their marriage
pictures in the park where they have just been secretly married.
Sarah had just turned 18, and the secret marriage was due to the fact that neither parents
agreed with the engagement. 

A young boy in a refugee camp in Kabul, Afghanistan reaches over the barbed
wire fences to get a look at life outside of his new home after his family's
home was destroyed in a fire fight.
 The boy, his two sisters and his mother and grandmother moved to this
camp to take refuge from the people who killed the rest of his family.

Boston, May, We Will Finish the Race

Photographed by Mitch Feinberg

"After the marathon bombings, we wanted to be the magazine the city deserved and needed at that moment. The marathon was just four days before our ship date, but we scratched our cover and main feature and threw ourselves into honoring the runners and victims as best we could. The cover image is made up completely of shoes that ran this year’s marathon, and we were proud to tell their stories. We were even more proud that the sale of our May cover posters raised over $120,000 for the One Fund."

I love this picture. The fact that the magazine changed their entire cover because they wanted to respect the people who had been in the race when it was horribly interrupted, is amazing. The fact that they were running the marathon in the first place take so much time and effort. People train for months, many times years to be ready for the marathon. And for it to be interrupted the way it was is horrible. But I absolutely love the way the magazine interpreted the race and the way they made it look so amazing on the cover.
