A moral dilemna - what would you do?

Think about this carefully...

With all your honour and dignity what would you do? 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 test 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 needs 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 over you....You are a CNN stills photographer,
old style, 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 and
people floating around you, disappearing into the water. Nature is
showing all its awesome destructive power and is ripping everything away with it. 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.

So you can save the life of George W. Bush, or you can shoot a Pulitzer
prize winning photo. A unique photo displaying the death of one of the
world's most powerful men.

And here's the question: (Please give an honest answer)

Would you select colour film, or go with the simplicity of classic black
and white?

Forums: The Bar,

Kodachrome, they give us those nice bright colours,
They give us the greens of summers,
Makes you think all the world's a sunny day. Oh yeah,
I got a Nikon camera, I love to take a photograph,
So momma, don't take my Kodachrome away.

I love Simon and Garfunkel, I got the Paul Simon Anthology the other day, it is such a good CD.

I'd probably go with a classic black and white showing his grip finally failing, and him being swept away. Though in a situation like that I'd like to think I'd have different cameras with me, loaded with different films, set at different shutter speeds, etc.

I'd get a video camera so I could record wolfwitz, cheney, bumsfeld, kissenger, ashcroft selecting their new mouthpiece for the downfall of whats left of our human righrs.

No joke, you gotta love the Patriot act and it's potential for abuse, luckily it's all in the name of freedom otherwise I'm sure I wouldn't be so understanding about their need to walk all over my rights.

Yes their is some very dangerous books in the library. You think Clark can win the nomanation and then knock over Bush? Or is Jeb on stand by to keep those uppity black folk away from the polling booths?and would any canidate roll back the Patriot Act, kyoto, Missle Defence treaty, first strike nuclear option, Icc allowed to try Americans, reparations to Nicaragua, Palestine, lebanon, Angola, Iraq and Vietnam to name just afew. Or is this election just like the others, domestic policiy only, blind eye to our plunder of the rest of the world?

i would put the biggest motherfucker of a zoom lens on my camera- make sure the strap is on securely- then- with graceful swings & lots of followthru- beat him round the face & neck with it

Technically using software you can change colour to black and white so it wouldn't really matter.

black and white, its alot more dramatic

i agree - and i think george dubbyah would prefer to immortalised with that dramatic flair

id go for the colour footage, makes it more realistic for modern times. (ie. many JFK Assasination, WWII and Korean War photos & TV Footage are in colour)

i'd make sure it was printed in an Ektachrome 50's style primary colour simulation to mimic those classic "Best of Life" books i had as a kid.

GOOD FUCKING JOKE!!! Really, this is the winner of the year!! I know I probably wont hear a better joke in 2004.

I would take a coloured one. Cause you can turn it to black and white after.

GOOD FUCKING JOKE!!!
