Ethical dilemma
Ethics Test

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.

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
career-making photos. There are
houses and people swirling around you, some
disappearing under the
water. Nature is unleashing all of its destructive
fury.

Suddenly you see a man floundering in the water. He
is fighting for his life.
You move closer.
Somehow
the man looks familiar. You suddenly realize who it
is. It's George W.
Bush! At the same time you notice that the raging
waters are about to
pull him under.

You have two options--you can save the life of
G.W.Bush or you can shoot
a dramatic Pulitzer Prize winning photo, documenting
the death of one of
the world's most powerful men.

So 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?

2. You kidding me? B&W would be an honor for him, finally no spinning
shades of gray or color!

6. I'd put the lens cap back on and walk away.
He doesn't deserve a photograph.

8. You kidding me? In those conditions, it's a digital camera.
The memory card will survive soaking but the film wouldn't. I don't know any B&W digitals, but you can do it with software.
