So very interesting assignment today.  This was my first breaking news story so I got super excited.  Ray was around and so we went out and shot it together.  As we got there, he dropped me off and I went shooting while he parked, which was a good thing photo wise.  It was a pretty brutal crash.  A guy stole a car, ran into another car that was filled with 5 people, 4 under the age on 19.  No one was killed but it seems a 2 were critically injured.  I was a bit confused on how to shoot since its quite a sensitive issue, taking photographs like this.  I didn't want to be the dick photographer taking shots of suffering for the sake of taking shots of suffering, but at the same time I personally feel its pretty important to create powerful images out of situations like this, cause it happened and its our job to report what happened and in all honesty, its a part of life that really shouldn't be hidden or covered just because its sensitive. .  So I think in this sense, i went for power instead of drama.   So heres what I took.
