1. The man pushed killed by the subway was pushed into the tracks by a panhandler after trying to calm him down just moments before the subway was coming through. The photographer took this photo using his flash to try to signal to the train to stop but he was too late and the train wasn't able to stop fast enough.
2. The photographer took the photo to try to stop the train with his camera flash, but the train couldn't stop fast enough.
3. I don't think this photo should have been taken because it seems like he was more concerned about getting a good photo than he was about helping the man, and his story doesn't sound very believable because the train driver might have just thought he was taking a normal picture and here was no way for the driver to know he was about to hit someone. I think the photographer should have just helped the man.
4. No, i don't think he did the best thing he could have done because he had plenty of time to help the man but instead he decided to take pictures of the tragedy.
5. I don't agree with the decision to put this on the front page because just because the photographer took it doest mean it should be published for everyone to see.
6. In most photos you see, it seems as though it is more important to get a good photo than save or help someone from trouble to the photojournalists. For example, in the 9/11 photos, most of the pictures are of people getting crushed or burned and the photographers don't even care to help them, they just want to get a good picture. I am sure that is not truer, but that is what it seems like.
7. I do and I don't think it is ethically acceptable for a photographer to involve them selves in a photo depending on what the context is. If they are getting a picture of someone in trouble just to get a good story, it is not ethically right, but if they are photographing someone being helped, it is ethically acceptable.
8. i don't think photojournalists should avoid influencing events, but they should be aware of what they are doing and if they are doing the right thing or not.
9. The most appropriate response from the photographer was that he was just trying to help by trying to stop the subway from hitting the man.

Fashion Photography
first video:
1. some changes made by the computer in the women's face were, they made her eyes bigger, they made her neck seem longer, slimmed down her shoulders, and slimmed her face.
second video:
2. changes the computer made to the woman's body were, they elongated here legs, slimmed her stomach, and changed the color of her skin.
third video:
3. Changes the computer made to the model's body was, they completely made her skinny and they left no evidence of fat any where on the body, they made her hair longer, slimmed her legs down, and smoothed out her skin.
Questions:
4. No, it is not ethically acceptable to change a person's appearance like in these videos because they are completely changing how they look to where the are unrecognizable. They aren't showing who they truly are and how people know them, they are making them to look how the photographers and the public want to see them.
5. Yes, there are circumstances to where it would be more ethically wrong to manipulate their bodies like this. This would be if they did it without there permission and shared it with the public without any consent.
6. changes that are okay: changing hair shape, smoothing out a mole or two, fixing makeup, etc.
changes that are not okay: changing weight of the model, making legs longer/shorter, and completely changing their whole body and their face (how they look).
7. The difference between fashion photography and photojournalism is that in fashion photography, it's models taking pictures for magazines or billboards and they get photoshopped to look better, and photojournalism is capturing people how they naturally look and photographing the beauty of the subject instead of ongoing in and changing it with photoshop later on.
9. I think you are showing us these videos to show us what fashion photography is and what they really do behind the scenes.
10. There are no guys because men don't really have the same standards as women, women are considered to be the "prettier" ones.
