A MORAL QUIZ....... - The Firearms Forum

rooter · 05-07-2010, 04:32 AM

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 woman in the water. She is fighting for her life, trying not to be taken down with the debris. You move closer. Somehow the woman looks familiar. You suddenly realize who it is. It's Nancy Pelosi! At the same time you notice that the raging waters are about to take her under forever. You have two options: You can save the life of Nancy Pelosi or you can shoot a dramatic Pulitzer Prize winning photo, documenting the death of one of the world's most powerful women.

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?"

Pretty good! I like things in black and white so thats what I'd go with.

Old Grump · 05-07-2010, 06:56 PM

Black and white without a doubt. Then throw her a life preserver with a short rope on it tied to a tree so she can't reach it. More black and white photo's as she prays for change.

Then throw her a rope but forget to hang onto my end of it.

More black and white photo's as she laughs and calls me a dummy.

If a shark hasn't appeared yet I will chum the water and go home, I have enough pictures by now.

That is great! I'd have to run home real quick and get the video camera, and a few bricks. Honest! Oh, and black and white film, it looks dramatic!
