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 read slowly and give due consideration to each line.
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. 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 Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi! 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 Nancy Pelosi, or you can shoot a dramatic Pulitzer Prize winning photo,documenting the death of one of the world’s most powerful women.
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?
