    Morality Test

    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.

    THE SITUATION:

    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 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.

    THE TEST:

    Suddenly you see a man 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 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 George Bush or you can shoot a dramatic Pulitzer Prize winning photo, documenting the death of one of the world's most powerful men (in his mind, at least).

    THE QUESTION:

    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?

    My first reaction was to laugh and in that same mind set I would choose black and white. I feel it can capture more feeling than color, in a lot of ways.

    But I wouldn't want him to have a romantic death like that--I'd rather have him choke on another pretzel.

    My second reaction though, was that I'd save him, as I believe he is a puppet and allowing him to die wouldn't really change anything.

    As much as I don't like some of Bush's policies, there would be no pictures and I would try best to save him.

    Even though I would never vote for him, no matter what kind of mistakes he made in my humble opinion, he is still a human life. We are all imperfect humans on this earth, We all make mistakes weather we want to admit it or not. I wouldn't care if it was a Murderer or rapist in the water, even though I would disaprove of there conduct I wouldn't stand by and watch anybody drown.

    Watching anybody drown would be the most unhuman thing anybody could do in my humble opinion.

    Well said. I would have to choose to save him not matter what my opinion of him is he is still a life that lives and breaths.

    I'd ask him to justify the Bill of Rights, Amendment 1 of the Constitution, regarding Separation of Church and State, and if he couldn't do that, I'd ask him to say, "Cheeeese."

    ytpically you do the photo in b&w first then you go through a particular bleaching and redyeing proces to make it sepia again, so your answer would start as b&w

    Haha :)

    I'd shoot it in colour and then manipulate it with some editing software into sepia.

    You people are forgetting that if Bush dies then Dr. Evil himself will take his place


    So I'd save the poor sap and have a beer with him

    i'd tie the camera to a tree and shoot myself saving his ass, then i'd negotiate with him :D
    and i'd go with high contrast colour film with the Wratten #80 filter :D

    Well simplicity is synonymous with George Bush, so I'd go with the Black & White [​IMG]
