Ethics of photographing a car crash
Ethics of photographing a car crash
I was returning from a trip to the Baltimore inner harbor when I came across a car up in flames almost near my house. Since I had my camera, I couldn't resist (at the time) to take pictures of the scene before the emergency vehicles arrived. After I took the pictures, I was notified by a spectator that the driver was still inside. When the firemen put out the fire, I couldn't make out anybody inside. At this point, the police pushed everyone back. It was not only until later that night when the news came on, did I confirm that the driver did indeed die. Now here I am, with an undeveloped roll of film of the whole incident. What should I do?
