I took some photos this morning and I have a dilemma

Someone decided this morning to end his life by jumping in front of the Metro train. I'm torn about posting the photos (nothing at all graphic). I'm kinda ashamed of myself for even taking pictures. I have a better understanding of that journalist from NYC (though I can't imagine I would have taken a photo like he did but I now understand the inclination to document the moment).

I am for starters giving you a heart.
The other answer is that I don't think I could look at them easily - but I would have taken them as well.
(don't know about the NYC photographer you are referring to - maybe will run across it in my DU travels)

Appreciate it. I'm glad to know I'm not the only way who would have reacted the same way.

Here's the photo I was referring to in my post (NYC photographer).
