I was speechless.It stroke me right to the heart. This video , made me re-think on an issue i'm always very sensible while taking photos. Trying not to be egoist. I always try not to act this way , eventhough sometimes it might be hard . I mean , you just can't fight the instict to paralyse that special moment. I don't know what forces me to do it , but sometimes it can be stronger than you. You just want to capture that "very moment". Nevertheless, what I have always tried to do , while taking photos of people,was approaching to them in a very sincere & honest way. I know this might be risky on loosing the candid moments and the naivete, but still i don't find it honest to get advantage of some situations that might turn out to be "great artistic hits". I don't find it ethic , to profit by such hard situations , just to achieve , a genuine work. Of course i don't have any word on photojournalist or war photographers , they're just documenting a fact , that's gonna be history later on. My word is , on popular-wanna be photographers , that barefacedly try to get this "particular gems that are screaming human pain" . This one , yes i do detest. We owe some respect & reliance to the people whose feelings of (pain,madness,loneliness etc) are documented and scattered everywhere.This is the least that should be done.

She would've taken the last photo afterward. I don't think in normal cases, probably you and me, is there any ego involved. She killed the girl knowingly so.
ehh, tani sapo e pashe filmin. menyra se si fotografja shkrepte aparatin pa pushim ndersa vajza kishte tyten e automatikut mbi balle, ishte pak 'disturbing' si i thone...

kamomil: i wouşldn't say she killed the girl, i thinks hers it was just an instict.an instict she suffers later.
