Hey QuicksDraw! Posted March 9, 2004 Share Posted March 9, 2004 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 consider each line. You are in Florida . . . in Miami to be exact . . . 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 great 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 showing all of it's destructive fury. You see a woman in the water. She is fighting for her life, trying not to be taken away with the debris. You move closer . . . somehow the woman looks familiar. Suddenly you know 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 have two options: You can save her or you can take the most dramatic photos of your life. So, you can save the life of Hillary Clinton, or you can shoot a Pulitzer Prize winning photo, documenting the death of one of the world's most powerful women. Here's the question and please give an honest answer: Would you select color film or would you rather go with the classic simplicity of black and white?

George Posted March 9, 2004 Share Posted March 9, 2004 I first heard it with Saddam Hussein playing Hillary back in 90-91. The option was which lens was best, the Wide Angle or the TelePhoto? Still a good one -- Regards, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gm iprod Posted March 9, 2004 Share Posted March 9, 2004 The interesting trick will be how you keep your foot on her head from showing in the photo, and how you explain how her finger nails got embedded in the soles to the M.E. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TriggerT Posted March 9, 2004 Share Posted March 9, 2004 You mean Hillary is a sinker, and not a floater? Who knew? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TriggerT Posted March 9, 2004 Share Posted March 9, 2004 I was thinking more along the lines of the things you flush. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.Hayden Posted March 9, 2004 Share Posted March 9, 2004 Yeah... I thought witches floated.... They do, I think Monty Python proved this.... But - I think she's the least of our problems - I'd throw her a line, then go on the speech circuit making the big bucks like her husband...

bountyhunter Posted March 9, 2004 Share Posted March 9, 2004 But, I would be sure to use "soft focus" so that my footprint on her forehead would not be visible in the shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rufus The Bum Posted March 10, 2004 Share Posted March 10, 2004 I'd give my friend the camera and have him take pictures of ME saving her. Write a book about it and retire to Mexico. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBF Posted March 10, 2004 Share Posted March 10, 2004 I wouldn't even waste the film. Rather take a pic of something more interesting. Good riddance... Travis F. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liota Posted March 11, 2004 Share Posted March 11, 2004 Yeah... I thought witches floated.... She's not a witch. Tsk! Tsk! You got your "B" and "W" mixed up again. She won't float. Liota Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
