Moral question: This test only has the one question, but it's an 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 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 the 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? :shrug:

Well, I would have to go with black and white. It would be an homage to the way conservatives/republicans see the world. Anyway, very funny post!

first, gives it that artsy appeal. second, facial expressions tend to catch better under black and white, and I'd really want to capture the sheer terror on the man's face.

7. Apart from the last couple of lines, it's not a novel |
|
conundrum.
As witnessed by many photos.

Last line is a definite gotcha!
But only a Weegee or Diane Arbus would be interested in photographing such a train wreck of a human being.
