LosMediasBlancas Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 Subject: Morality question This test has only one question, but it's a very important one. Please don't answer it without giving it 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 are 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 taken away with the raging 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 colour film, or rather go with the classic simplicity of black and white? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoxFan1 Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 While reading, I kept thinking: "Hmm, he's gonna ask if I help Bush or if I take pictures. If I take pictures, I get paraded by my boss for having some of the most dramatic pictures in world history and probably get a lot of dough. But if I help save Bush, which is unfortunate in itself, I will probably be rewarded some good s***.....wait. What!?! .............. BLACK AND WHITE!"

3E8 Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 I'd take it black and white to present an ironic symbolization of how he didn't care about black people. /green Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercy! Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 That’s just ALL wrong! What photojournalist in a fast-breaking story (a flood, no less) would be shooting film??? DIGITAL, all the way, man! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonkeyKongerko Posted September 18, 2005 Share Posted September 18, 2005 After considering all this, Dubya probably would have drowned before I made up my mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rex Kickass Posted September 18, 2005 Share Posted September 18, 2005 With a digital camera, I can take dozens of pictures a second and get the right moment's shot. And I can always photoshop it b&w. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JUGGERNAUT Posted September 18, 2005 Share Posted September 18, 2005 (edited) Whether it by GWB or any one else I would risk my life to save theirs. Considering I was once a scout lifeguard & the fact that the Lord Jesus Christ is my Shepherd I would undoubtedly be successful in my efforts. That alone would give me the biggest story of my photo-journalist life & probably exclusive access to the White House. Digital all the way. Those are the mysterious ways in which God works.
