1. Ki Suk Han was killed by a subway because he was pushed onto the tracks by an aggravated man, although Han was just attempting to calm him down. The photographer R. Ubar Abbasi, was able to take this photo because he knew he wasn't fast enough to physically help the man up, so Abbasi used his camera flash to try and warn the train.
2. R. Ubar Abbasi claims he took the photo, using flash many times, to try and give the train a message to stop.
3. in my opinion, I thin the photographer should have tried to physically help the man off the tracks instead of taking photos, even though he claims he wouldn't have been fast enough, you never know if you don't try.
4. I don't think the photographer did the best thing he could have done in this situation because when it comes to having a very popular photo published in your name for the New York Post or attempting at heroically saving a man's life, he should have tried to save the man.
5. I do not agree with the decision to run the photo on the front page of the New York Post because so many hate comments from viewers and controversial topics could have been avoided if Ki Suk Han's death was not displayed everywhere for tons of people to see.
6. I think a photojournalism is more intent on capturing the events that happen instead of helping with them because their job is to inform others of topics that we don't experience first-hand so we will be more informed and have hopefully honest information from someone who saw the event with their own eyes.
7. I think it is ethically acceptable for photographer to involve him or herself in a situation if a person or many people will be badly hurt or even killed from the outcome of the situation.
8. I think photojournalists should avoid influencing events most always because they can be badly judged by viewers if they say something that viewers don't want to hear or see.
9. After reading the responses from the professional photographers, I feel that the most appropriate response for this situation would be telling the truth, which involves attempting to help someone escape from death and documenting about the event since he/she was there, but not using such a vivid and devastating photo.

Final Exam & Caption Review
Captions:
Captive Fareed Jackson makes an escape from the most horrible experience of his life at just 12 years old, in the suburbs of Albuquerque, New Mexico. Fareed was kidnapped months months ago and the presidential search party has looked for him ever since and went to many extents for his safety.
President Theadore Ross embraces his long lost grandchild for the first time in both their lives, in the comforts of Ross's lounge in the Oval Office. Before December 4th, 2012, he never possessed any family members and lived a lonely but successful life.
Rule of Thirds: This rule means to separate a photo into 3 imaginary segments, with one segment containing the subject on the left or right.
Balancing Elements: The idea of this rule is to create a balance within the photo and to have mostly equality on each sides and around the subject.
Leading Lines: This rule means that somewhere in the photo, there will be lines that lead towards or away from something significant, usually the subject.
Symmetry and Patterns: This rule repeats an element to draw attention to it or uses shapes and patterns to do so.
Viewpoint: This rule focuses on the position and angle the photo is taken in (ex. bird's/worm's eye view, side of subject taken).
Background: A simple and plain background that doesn't distract or merge into the subject making an emphasis on the subject.
Create Depth: This effect creates focus on a certain point and gives the photo layers, like making it seem close up or far away.
Framing: Using objects in the photo to enclose around the subject and emphasize it.
Cropping: Cutting off part of the photo and keeping only important pieces.
Mergers and Avoiding them: Mergers are when the subject connects into another object in the photo or gets cut off, can be avoided with a plain background,
3. Aperture: Focusing on certain objects. Small apertures include entire photo including background. Large apertures focus on only a certain area.
Shutter Speed: The speed the shutter closes. This effects the light that enters the lens as well as how fast of a motion you can capture.
ISO: This effects the sensitivity of the photo. You determine the ISO with light so you don't get a grainy photo.
4. It is acceptable to make minor changes and possibly changing the background. It is not acceptable to distort bodies completely and provide false expectations.
5. Environmental: When the subject interacts with an object or is put in a background that describes their personality
Self: A portrait of the photographer taken by the photographer.
Casual: A non-formal portrait that captures the subject unexpectedly.
6.Exposure: The amount of light cause by shutter speed and aperture.
Depth of Field: The amount of distance between the nearest and farthest objects in the photo.
Focal Length: The distance from the lens to the subject.
7. Early: This is usually a printed picture in the center with a title and small description.
Poster: Only a photo with a title.
Married to type: When the photo intersects of interacts with the title words.
In a Forest of Words: Multiple headlines around the cover.
