NPPA Code of Ethics
1) In the code of ethics item #3 was the most compelling to me: "Be complete and provide context when photographing or recording subjects. Avoid stereotyping individuals and groups. Recognize and work to avoid presenting one's own biases in the work." This stands out to me, because I'm a firm believer in letting things be. Not altering or changing to add your own opinion when it's not needed. This relates strongly with photographs; the goal is to capture a setting, not change one.
2) Under ideally journalists should #5 stands out to me, it presents, "strive to be unobtrusive and humble in dealing with subjects." This is important, because as a photographer you don't want to disrespect or or disrupted the lives of the person you're capturing. In such cases, you won't get the photograph you're needing and won't get good paying jobs.
3) I would apply this rule by not adapting or changing my photos to portray anything other than what was happening. An example would be going to some sort of peaceful protest and only photographing the one "fight" that may breakout. Then, sending it in to represent the whole protest.

1) I like this photo because it portrays nicely what's happening at the event. You can tell he's playing chess, and has a good focus to it.

Favorite Lynsey Addario Moment
My favorite Lynsey Addario moment so far was right after she found out her boyfriend was cheating on her. Between pages 85-86. she wrote about her sadness and how she felt the breakup destroyed her, but in her writing she quickly realized her work was what she needed. Addario states, "You have your work,' I told myself. I even said the words out loud to give me strength." I felt like this was a big indicator about how dedicated she is to her work.
