Kitty's response to the video we watched in class almost two weeks ago was spot-on. She covered why the photographers played such a role in capture those tragic moments for future generations to see, and why we should consider these people heroes. I just have one thing to add, is that the photographers didn't do this because they had to, or because they thought it would be a great business opportunity, they shot these pictures, risking their lives, because they knew that this was history that needed to be documented for future generations to remember. They knew that if they didn't do it, they were risking the chance that they would never be able to thoroughly remember this event visually. And after all, seeing pictures of this creates a much more emotional reaction than just reading about it.
