On 22/1/09, Stan Halpin, discombobulated, unleashed: >Did you get a picture of the scene?
Nope. I had two cameras with me, iPhone and TV news camera. I was too busy slowing oncoming traffic at the corner (more a bend in the road, about 45 mph max) and directing traffic past the incident, and the scene itself was unremarkable. Of course I assessed the whole thing for newsworthiness, and decided it was not even on the meter. If I had started snapping away at the 2 ladies in the car I would have been failing in my duty as a member of the community to help where needed. Had the scene been newsworthy, and as long as I was not failing in any public duty first (like First Aid) then the TV camera would have been out. It's a judgement call of public priorities versus professional needs. -- Cheers, Cotty ___/\__ || (O) | People, Places, Pastiche ||=====| http://www.cottysnaps.com _____________________________ -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
