Subj: One Question Test
The One (1) Question Test (Don't cheat and read ahead)
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.
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 photo-journalist 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 man and a woman in the water. They are fighting for
their lives, trying not to be taken down with the debris. You move
closer. Somehow they look familiar.. you suddenly realize who they
are.
It's Barack Obama and Nancy Pelosi!! At the same time you notice that
the raging waters are about to take them under forever.
You have two options:
1. You can save their lives or
2. You can shoot a dramatic Pulitzer Prize winning photo, documenting the deaths of two of the world's most powerful people.
NOW,
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'll take Freedom for 12 trillion dollars, Alex.
