"While photographing subjects do not intentionally contribute to, alter, or seek to alter or influence events." I think this is the most compelling because I think it is on of the easiest things to accidentally do when you're photographing something. It is easy to want to manipulate the events or try to alter them to get the better photo or the better story but if everyone did this then we would not always be getting the true story, which is what photojournalism is all about.
"Strive to be unobtrusive and humble in dealing with subjects." This one was the meant the most to me because I think it is one of the most important. If something tragic is happening you cannot just go up and start taking pictures. You have to remain discrete and out of the way.
An example of striving to be unobtrusive and humble when dealing with subjects would be if you were photographing a car accident and the victims family was there grieving. In this case it would be best to stay further back if you're going to take pictures so that you can give the family their space and respect.
Topic 2:
The first picture I picked was from Amanda's blog, Bubble Baths and Rat Poison. I picked a picture from her piece about pedestrians. I really liked the picture of the legs of the pedestrians crossing the street. I liked the angle of the picture and how it was focused in on their legs but in the background you could also see the traffic. http://bubblebathsandratpoison.blogspot.com/2015/10/campus-wars-cars-v-pedestrians.html

My second favorite photo was from Scott's blog, Scott's Photojournalism. I chose a picture from Scott's piece about campus fun. The photo I chose was of Rob and students in the class. The reason I chose this photo was because with the angle used I could tell that the students were standing on steps that were below Rob without even seeing the steps. I also loved that all three people were smiling in the photo. http://scotttterry.blogspot.com/2015/10/active-duty-service-members.html
