   A photographer in China is crashing into controversy this week with his brutal photos of a man falling off of his bicycle. The man hit a well known pot hole submerged in rain water on the street in Xiamen city.Photographer Liu Tao is being accused of sitting on the sidelines, waiting for the amazing accident to happen instead of warning people of the danger. Readers of the Beijing Youth Daily, which published the shots, wrote in to express their feelings.One wrote: "The pictures are well shot, but the person who shot this is disgusting. He knew there was a pit, but was waiting there for someone to fall over."And another said: "The photographer should really be condemned since he knew there definitely would be other victims." Liu defended himself, saying: "I just knew that the city government has paved the pit, and without my pictures, the pit would not be noticed by the government, and there would perhaps be more people falling over." |
