    Some amazing photography (PICS)

    How many of you can go to a place like that and focus on getting the shot and not let what's going on around you get to you? Takes some serous mind power to keep your focus on work, rather stop and help them. Can you handle it?

          that's an interesting way of putting it... i've always wanted to put myself in that situation and see if i can take it or not... one of my biggest goals/challenges is to capture photos of war or such...

                  Don't forget some of them made/are gonna make big bucks from those photos, one more 'incentive' to cope with it.

                      Any photographer worth his salt, dreams to get shots like that.

                      And prays he never gets the opportunity.

                          heartbreaking to see these images. The government needed to move quickly but did not. I'm sure a lot of people will suffer because of that.

                                                      amazing how photographs give you an entirely different perspective

                                                      #55 has me curious to what the question mark is on the dead person

                                                      my first thought is that the body is unidentified so someone marked it, but you wouldn't expect it to be still floating freely in water if that's the case

                                                          Truly outstanding photos

                                                          and the truth is when you look through the eyepeice it's like looking at TV you disassociate yourself from what is happening but the discipline comes in being able to look through the lens and let yourself be someone elses eyes as opposed to being swept up in it all and forgetting you have a camera.

                                                              it's very hard to disassociate yourself though
                                                              i tryed it once when there was a bad Amtrack crash near my house. I made it down there about the same time recue people started showing up.

                                                              I took a few pics from afar but I felt a very weird feeling like I shouldn't be doing this. I stayed back a good ways took a few more pics of the wreckage from afar and went home.

                                                              It was that last big Amtrack train wreck in Florida several years ago.

                                                                      it's very hard to disassociate yourself though
                                                                      i tryed it once when there was a bad Amtrack crash near my house. I made it down there about the same time recue people started showing up.

                                                                      I took a few pics from afar but I felt a very weird feeling like I shouldn't be doing this. I stayed back a good ways took a few more pics of the wreckage from afar and went home.

                                                                      It was that last big Amtrack train wreck in Florida several years ago.
                                                                      I can relate to that - but I guess professional photojournalists have to be able
                                                                      to control those types of feelings and concentrate on documenting the event.
                                                                      Photojournalist are a whole different breed of shooter...I could never do it
                                                                      myself. I'm used to having control over my lighting and such and with
                                                                      photojournalism...you have no control. You make the best of the lighting
                                                                      situation given to you and you record the event with as much emotion as
                                                                      possible. When they say a picture says a thousand words...it's damn true
                                                                      when you think about those types of pics.

                                                                                                  Its bloody hard to come up to a grieving family and shove a light and a camera in their face... but after awhile, it becomes so surreal that it doesn't seem to affect you anymore. Behind that lense its like you're just watching a movie and that at any second, you'll be able to flip the channel and see something more cheerful.

                                                                                                  But it really hits you when the camera goes off and you keep watching whats going on

                                                                                                  Its not an easy job and takes a special kind of person to do that line of work

I wonder if any of the photographers efforts were not appreciated by the victims...

Takes some serous mind power to keep your focus on work, rather stop and help them. Can you handle it?
