Topic 1:
1. For me the most interesting part of the code of ethics was the last part: "Do not intentionally sabotage the efforts of other journalists." It makes me curious, because they wouldn't have made a rules for it if there wasn't a problem.
I also noted how it specifically said "intentionally." It made me think about how different journalists might end up treading on one another's feet by accident. For instance, one journalist might publish something unflattering about an individual and they might decline further coverage as a result.
2. "Strive to be unobtrusive and humble in dealing with subjects." It sounds like this is encouraging journalists to only observe whenever possible. A journalist's job is to observe and report. You should not use your position as a journalist to influence a situation and keep oneself as detached as possible. Even the presence of a person with a camera or a notepad can affect how people act.
3. To stay humble and unobtrusive I would imagine one would avoid drawing attention to themselves during and event and avoid manipulating subjects. Don't go around trying to create the perfect photo and instead try to capture it. Avoid asking people to pose.
Topic 2:
I liked the photo Marwah posted this week for her portrait photo. It looks pretty well set up and the I never really see people sewing much these days. I think its cropped well and I think the lighting looks really good as well.
I also like Trevor's portrait from this week. I think its really creative and funny. It makes me wonder whats this guy is all about.
