We photographers are a bit crazy. I guess it’s the same for anyone with a passion.
I was looking at the video of the big fight during the Buffalo Sabres and The Ottawa Senators game where every player on the ice dropped the gloves, including the goalies. In the video, we eventually see the coaches verbally fighting for a while.
Who else looked between them noticed the photographer in the camera pit? Who else said, “Wow! Great location to shoot! There is not even a glass!!” Who else said “funny hat!” And who else said, “Drop you 70-200 and get a wide angle to get the coach, you stupid!” And who else eventually said “Good job!” when he did?

Sympathy for the victims

Last summer, I told you about how disturbed I was after I photographed a double murder attempt. 2 days ago, Trent Nelson at the Salt Lake Tribune was covering the follow up of a shooting spree in a mall. He talked with two photographers who were there during the shooting.
When the man couldn't see clearly through the lens, the photographer brought up the image on the camera's LCD screen. Seeing the body, he said, "That's my wife," and collapsed in grief. And Nelson to conclude: How should journalists cover these moments of tragedy, especially when the pain is so fresh that the bodies are still uncovered? I can't give you a simple answer.
