The Test
A test of values
One (1) Question 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. Please scroll down slowly and give due consideration to each line. ------------------------------------------------------------------- THE SITUATION: You are in you caused by a hurricane with severe flooding. This is a flood of biblical proportions. You are a photojournalist working for a major newspaper. 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 woman in the water. She is fighting for her life, trying not to be taken down with the debris. You move closer. Somehow the woman looks familiar. You suddenly realize 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 the life of Hillary Clinton or you can shoot a dramatic Pulitzer Prize winning photo, documenting the death of one of the world's most powerful women. ========================================== THE QUESTION: 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?

It all depends upon the lighting and lens selection. If it is a good side lighting with fill-in highlights, the by all means, go with the B&W. But I would have to have a fast telephoto. If I had a good telephoto, say 150 –325mm f2.3 or a simple 135mm, it makes a huge difference. There are just too many variables to answer correctly. Not with a Pulitzer Prize winning photo on the line. But you just gotta take the shot with what you got.
Good one....ffice ffice" />

It doesnt matter because I'm just gonna burn the photo anyways, hoping to help the world heal from the traumatic memory of the overwhelming darkness that has plagued the Earth since her birth.

The thing is, drowning may not extinguish her evil legacy. Maybe we can get Frodo to venture to Mordor and toss her into Mount Doom. That MIGHT do it.
