This test only has one question, but it's a very important one. By giving an honest answer, you will discover where you stand morally. The test features an unlikely, completely fictional situation in which you will have to make a decision. Remember that your answer needs to be honest, yet spontaneous. Please scroll down slowly and give due consideration to each line.
You are in Florida, Miami to be specific. There is chaos all around you caused by a hurricane with severe flooding. This is a flood of biblical proportions. You are a photojournalist working for a major newspaper, and you're caught in the middle of this epic disaster. The situation is nearly hopeless. You're trying to shoot career-making photos. There are houses and people swirling around you, some disappearing under the water. Nature is unleashing all of its destructive fury.
Suddenly you see a man floundering in the water. He is fighting for his life, trying not to be taken down with the debris. You move closer . . . somehow the man looks familiar. You suddenly realize who it is. It's George W. Bush!
At the same time you notice that the raging waters are about to take him under .... forever. You have two options -- you can save the life of G. W. Bush or you can shoot a dramatic Pulitzer Prize winning photo, documenting the death of one of the world's most powerful men.
So here's the question, and please give an honest answer: Would you select high contrast color film, or would you go with the classic simplicity of black and white?

Up until the GWB part, I was definitely going to say save him, but now I'm conflicted :D

8. A sort of serious answer. |
|
My instinct would be to jump in and save him anyway. Hell, if I'm against the death penalty for the craziest killer, I want to be consistant and say I would try to save him.
But he is such a selfish jerk with the motto of "I've got mine -- screw everyone else." So there would be a real danger he would drown me trying to stay on top of the water. So if I allowed a moment of calm thought, definately the color.

11. I had hemorrhoids so I had to get out of enlisting for 'Nam... |

SO I can't save him now.
Black and white with a couple red filters to enhance the contrast would do the trick... or maybe a yellow and red... :D

.... I think it would make the shot look more dramatic!
If Bush was having a heart attack, I would wait as long as I could before calling 911.
