Here's a dilemma for you ... what would you do?
This test only has one question, but it's a very important one.
Please don't answer it without giving it some serious thought. 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. Thoughtfulness is important for this evaluation
to be meaningful!
Ready? Begin!
You're in Florida... In Miami, to be exact... There is chaos
around you, caused by a hurricane and severe floods. This is a flood of
major proportions. You are a photojournalist working for a major newspaper!
caught in the middle of this great 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
showing all its destructive fury you see a man in the water! He is fighting
for his life, trying not to be swept away with the water and debris. You
move closer. Somehow the man looks familiar. Suddenly, you know 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 him or you can take the most dramatic
photos of your life. You can save the life of George W. Bush, or
you can shoot a Pulitzer Prize-winning photo, documenting the death of one
of the world's most powerful men.
Now, here's the question (please give an honest answer).
Would you select color film, or would you rather go with the
classic simplicity of black and white?

That was a good one, but even if you did use color film, it would still come out black and WHITE! |
