    Moral 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. No one else will know, so you won't be fooling anyone but yourself if you give anything but a truthful answer.

    The test features an unlikely, completely fictional situation in which you will have to make a decision. Remember, your answer needs to be honest, yet spontaneous. Please read slowly and thoughtfully, giving due consideration to each line.



    Here's 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 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, President of the United States!!

    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?

    I did the right thing by setting you free
    But the pain is very deep.
    If only I could turn back time, forever, you I'd keep.
    I miss you


    I hear you whimper in your sleep
    I gently pet you and say, no bad dreams
    It will be alright, to my dog as dark as night.

    Fur as dark as the night.
    Join me on this flight.
    Paws of love that follow me.
    In my heart you'll forever be.

    How I wish I could hold you near.
    Turn back time to make it so.
    Hug you close and never let go.

    I was seriously reading that situation and as soon as I seen who it was I said "owww that's not fair" I would save almost anyone and screw the career but Bush???? Then I see the option for the answer. Much harder decision than whether or not to save godd ol' G.W.

    I think I would have to choose the high contrast color film. I would want to capture that moment in all it's glory and you can always print in b&w anyway. LOL

    The choice is hard but I'm going with the high color. I think they look better in magazines.

    You can always turn a full color photo B & W on a computer

    Although, if I was a photojournalist, Id be a wuss and go far far far away from the hurricane (I have a phobia of wind )

    I know this is supposed to be funny, but it reminded me of that Viet cong (errr- I think?) photo. You know, where the photographer shot a picture of a man about to be shot in the head in Vietnam. The man was shot and killed and the photographer said something like he never forgave himself for not helping him. Somebody has got to know what I'm talking about :\

    I know what you're talking about but that is way off topic here. That's an entirely different discussion. This was just for laughs.
