[quote 3d][quote M A V I C]I don't think so. Sometimes when I'm taking hard photos, I'm filled with compassion to capture the moment for those pictured, and to help convey the message to others.
Judging from the reaction of the other people in the photo. That person must've just gotten shot 5 seconds before the photo was taken. She looks like she is screaming, bone-chillingly, from the top of her lungs. In that particular situation the photographer chose to stop and stand 10 feet away and start taking photographs of this screaming young woman. He didn't run over to see what happened. He didn't run to get help. He didn't yell for everyone to take cover. He stood there in front of them, composed the photograph and clicked away. That's pretty cold. It's a breath-taking photo though.
But hey... whatever that's just my opinion. Sorry for going off topic.
The victim was shot on-campus by a member of the US National Guard. That's the image people remember, and is, in large part, WHY people remember what Kent State symbolized. An historically important photo, and glad the photographer had more brass than I might've in that situation.
