but then you end up with the situation like you see on the news now where there are more cameramen around that shopping mall at the moment than police and like in the situation I mentioned in Boston, some of the far off pictures were actually obscured by each victim having a scrum of cameramen trying desperately to get better pictures of blood and gore than their competitors.
Anyway, so what if its their job? if I saw a car crash and people needing help would I tell them that I need to blog about it first? how do we not know that the guy in the OP's post with the chequered shirt isn't a photographer by trade who actually has humanity in him?
