This is the thing about being a hardcore photojournalist that I could never
handle. Theoretically, when you see something horrific happening, you are
supposed to suppress the normal human urge to help another human being and
instead take photos to document the event. In my mind, that's ethically
wrong. If you see someone about to get brutalized or murdered, how can you
just stand there and take photos when you could potentially save another
life?
I can't wrap my brain around that.
