In her real story "And of clay are we created", Chilean writer Isabel Allende takes our attention to a drama of a little girl stucked in clay after a disaster.This is a sad story because,people and mostly photographer Rolf Carle see her in that awful position but they can not help her to get out of there. There is an irony because,the photographer has to take Azucena's photo in order to form the new's visual part of the disaster's affects on humanity.But at the same time,he tries to rescue her but he can not.He does not choose the option to not take her photo.This is a big dilemma of news photographers in state of emergencies such as wars and disasters. Besides urging the worker to make a decision of taking the photo or not; this situation makes psychological effects on human brains.
In my opinion,the photographer has to do his or her job without bypassing the hard and sad situation he or she faces.Also if the photograph of Azucena was not taken, the effect of this reality story would not be this powerful.
An astute analysis, Mali! Bravo! You're really considering the issue from different angles.
