About Me

Cap'n Intrepid is wacky (when he's not serious), and highly intelligent (when he's not dumb) and has an astounding talent of pointing out the painfully obvious.

No One Helped Her
Image hosted by Photobucket.com

That's right. Not even the photographer, who was probably too busy snapping photographs.

Granted, the photographer could have been too far away, hence the snap-first-help-later behaviour. The holier-than-thou attitude rankles nonetheless.

it looks as if the photojournalist is "taking advantage of the situation", but he is doing his part in capturing the image. that is what photojournalists are for, otherwise we would never have pictures like this in the papers.

it's not as if the photojournalist is unethical, he just has to do this "dirty job" (as perceived here) and often get misunderstood. that's the nature of the profession.

Ordinarily, I wouldn't have commented. Just the caption bugging me I suppose. The photog probably didn't realize how, from the photograph, he seems to be the person most in position to help her (unobstructed, in front of her etc).

I sure hope he helped her up after taking the shot though, much as it rubs me the wrong way. Unless someone else did it. Then that caption would be unethical.
