"I am depressed ... without phone ... money for rent ... money for child support ... money for debts ... money!!! ... I am haunted by the vivid memories of killings and corpses and anger and pain ... of starving or wounded children, of trigger-happy madmen, often police, of killer executioners...I have gone to join Ken if I am that lucky."
it is a common sight to see singer cry when they are so emotional during concert. does photographer cry when they capture certain moments while snapping..
think photographer more concern with the camera setting, exposure .... etc
It depends on the background of the photographer and what training they've had. I rarely displayed emotions in 12 years of covering some of the worst wars and human tragedies of the last 30 or so years, but part of that was due to my background and part due to training and also iron will. There were plenty of times where having a good cry would be the easy way out, rather than doing the job you're paid to do.it is a common sight to see singer cry when they are so emotional during concert. does photographer cry when they capture certain moments while snapping..

I'm sure many emographers will show their true colous once they watch their DSLR coupled with a red and yellow banded lens slipping from their hands and falling to the ground assisted by the pull of Earth's gravity. ;p
All in slowmo to boot as the visual cortex goes into hyperdrive. :bsmilie::bsmilie: one's heart will stop beating for that very second when the camera hits the ground, bounced a little, and drop hard again.
From that day on, I will give a little token whenever I take shots of those helpless on the street. I hope we can have lesser of these people on the street. Everyone deserve a decent living, unless they didn't want it.
Please all fellow snapper, help those in need if you can. Make this a better world for all.

As I've said many times on CS... there are memories that still haunt me and many things I'd rather I never saw happen, but I always viewed my job as being the impartial witness. There are a few times where I broke down after a job, in particular one job in BKK back in 86 and after watching a kid drown who was just out of reach.
Just be glad most of you will never have to go through it as it's soul destroying.
A very thought-provoking question you have raised there.
Unfortunately I haven't had the opportunity to shed tears when I take pictures.
I think it is mainly because I am a hobbyist and I haven't had the experience of capturing something, some moment, some people that is so emotionally stirring.
But if the time comes, I am not ashamed to say that I most probably would display a little bit of my own emotion.
