I just received this via email and I'm still laughing....I thought others here might enjoy it. Its a little moral hypothetical test.
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 ascertain where you stand morally. 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 should to be honest, yet spontaneous. Please scroll down slowly
and consider each line - this is important for the test to work
accurately.
You're in Florida. In 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. You are an Associated Press
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 afloat
around, people floating disappearing into the water. Nature is showing
all its awesome power. 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. Somehow the man looks 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. You can't do both. You can either save the life of George W.
Bush, or you can shoot a Pulitzer Prize winning photo, a unique photo
chronicling one of the world's most powerful men in a battle against the
power of nature itself.
Here's the question (please give an honest answer): Would you select
color film, or instead go for the simplicity of classic black and white?

B/W is the obvious answer, being as how Bush sees every issue in terms of black and white...
Robt.

That is too funny... I was about to say the same thing. Did you ever notice how difficult it is to type when you are laughing so hard that tears are rolling down your cheeks...... |

I'd push him under, and take a shot of it B/W.

As many photojournalists say, 'we are citizens before we are journalists'...so I'd take it with a pinhole camera and tell him to quit shaking around all over or else the picture will be all blurry.
I'm 100% kidding, of course!
