I'm also wondering like Diana...could you give some insight on if some of these things keep you awake at night? It's a job, like any other, but even doctors can have some patients that pass away make them question their profession--do you question yours? I'd also like your insight...

Eor me it's not just an art, but a tool that allows one to capture the essence of life-both good and bad. In my ethics class, there was an argument relating to photographing "horrific" scenes as you call them. Should you do it/not? Case study was Kevin Carter of the Bang Bang Club. I supported it. Let's just say more than half of the class diddn't support me on that. Whatever the case, i think its the photojournalist's responsibility to capture these images. with that said, my question now becomes, how do you deal with the horrific scenes you just photographed? I mean, i don't think crying is enough somwtimes.... So, what usually happens? Are you left to deal with your own demons or what? That is something that i have bever understood or gotten an answer to. Perhaps you might be willing to share your insight on that. It will be highly appreciated. Thank you Hey James, im a journalism student and i really love photography. Eor me it’s not just an art, but a tool that allows one to capture the essence of life-both good and bad.
