i'm pretty affected. and intrigued. by this.
well the idea portrayed by the video is nothing new. it's something that has all along being in existence. in real life we've seen the famous photo of the vulture waiting to feed on the dying child. kevin carter, the one who took the photo, committed suicide in the end. some said that it's out of guilt. others said it's out of stress.
it all boils down to the question of ethics.
is it valid to view the photo in question as an art? is it that as long as it's an art piece, the process of creation does not matter? should there be such a practice? what can the helpless photographer do under such dangerous circumstances? is there a definite right or wrong? what exactly is ethical? even if it's ethically alright, how many journalists are able to put on the veil of ignorance and perhaps even mask their human nature to do it?
and i still have my media law questions swirling around in my mind.
