Fat Albert Posted January 30, 2004 Share Posted January 30, 2004 In all honor and dignity 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 be able to make a resonable assesment of your moral fibre. Keep reading all the way to the bottom and consider all your options. The test features an unlikely, completely fictional situation, where you will have to make a decision one way or the other. Remember that your answer needs to be honest, yet spontaneous. You're in Florida, Miami, to be exact. There is great chaos going on around you, caused by a hurricane and severe floods. There are huge masses of water all around. You are a New York Times photographer and you are in the middle of this great disaster. The situation is nearly hopeless. You're trying to shoot very impressive photos. There are houses and people floating around, disappearing into the water. Nature is showing all of its destructive power and is ripping everything away with it. Suddenly you see a man in the water, he is fighting for his life, trying not to be taken away by the masses of water and mud. You move closer. The man looks somewhat 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 away, forever. You have two options. You can save him, or you can take the best photo of your life. So you can save the life of George W. Bush, or you can shoot a Pulitzer Prize winning photo, a unique photo displaying the death of one of the worlds most powerful men. Here's the question (scroll down). Please give an honest answer. Would you select color film, or would you rather go with the simplicity of classic black and white? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyingjohn Posted January 30, 2004 Share Posted January 30, 2004 If i was a new york photographer surely i would have a top of the range digital camera. So take one photo and change it to one color and one b & w best of both worlds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Elworthy Posted January 30, 2004 Share Posted January 30, 2004 Perhaps we should hav a FOCUS group to discuss it. Was it a FLASH flood he was caught in? Was the real life photographer BATHE IT DAILY? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
