Good possibilities for the current Challenge.

Great job, Rutt! Definitely #2, maybe three. Three would be helped with a caption and a crop, eliminating the figure on the left, coming down on the rightside of the camera man.

Is your numbering right, B.D.? I'm not seeing a figure on the left or camera man in #3.
Why not use the thumbs to refer to the pictures, there's no ambiguity? It's pretty easy, just use "Th" instead of "XL" or "L" in the URL.
I love #1.
#5 - With the t.v. cameraman

I like #3 or #6 best for the challenge. They may need captions, but make immediate sense with a simple caption and are both powerful pictures.
I like the waving off of the photographers in #6, because I think that's a statement on PJ, that the photographers are not invisible. The images are important and vital because they make everyone who wasn't there think, but they're also intrusive, especially in moments of distress (or joy). A caption might help tell this "story" (but, I guess, only if that's a story the photographer wants to tell).
This was an amazingly photographer-friendly scene. The people were giving interviews to the local news crews and compared to them, I was small potatoes.
I suppose the people had bigger things to worry about than photographers.
And, yes, I personally think #3 is head and shoulders better than the rest as a standalone image with the caption: At the Haitian Crisis and Relief Center, Boston 14 Januarly 2010.
:DHi sunflower and Rutt,

It's a little confusing to be getting emails regarding a post I didn't submit. I don't mind being in the loop of the thread, but the post(s) that sunflower responded to was yours, the response you gave to sunflowers post was to me also. So if sunflower was waiting to hear from you and was doing so expecting the dgrin.com profile to send her an email saying that you responded to her/him, they wouldn't get it...because I did. Does that make sense?

In that context, I think I like #3 the best.
... I'm still peeling potatoes.
