A One Question Test

June 29, 2007

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.

Please scroll down slowly and give due consideration to each line.

———————————————————————————————————
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 a career-making photo. There are houses and people swirling all around you, some disappear 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 this woman looks familiar. You suddenly realize who it is. It’s Hillary Clinton! At the same time you notice that the raging waters are about to take her under forever.

You only have two options. You can save the life of Hillary Clinton or you can shoot a dramatic Pulitzer Prize winning photo, documenting the death of one of the world’s most powerful women (in her 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?

    (I came across you from Upstart Blogger.)

    I’d choose the classic simplicity of black and white. Maybe her death would be a classic photo like the one of the Great Depression era woman.

    :idea: I’d go with infrared film to give it that ethereal look…
    :lol: Z

    Black and white all the way, though I would have one heck of a time wasting film/pixels on her.

Got something to say?
