So if you can work "deconstruction" into the story, we're good to go with the picture?
Quote:
Last week, there was a Web’s worth of debate about the decision of The New York Post to publish a salaciously headlined photo of a man just before he was struck and killed by a subway train in New York.
On Wednesday, many newspapers that cover New York, including The New York Times, published another photo of another man who was about to die.
In this instance, Brandon Lincoln Woodard, visiting from Los Angeles, was shown strolling down West 58th Street in New York, unaware that just over his shoulder, a man with a nickel-plated gun was about to shoot him dead. The image, lifted from a surveillance video, was cinematic and chilling, a still from a murder mystery movie that was all too real.
It is less a portrait of mayhem than a deconstruction of assassination. It is a deeply compelling image, not because of any gore — there is none — but because it shows a man whose fate has arrived without his knowledge. In that sense, it is the opposite of the subway photo in which the victim, Ki-Suck Han, is staring at an on-rushing train bearing down on him.
