Cool Career Test (humor)

CAREER TEST (HUMOR)

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 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 sentence is important for this evaluation to be meaningful. Ready?

Begin . . .

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 and you realize 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?




I don't think it is possible for her to drown... But I would go w/ B&W.

Ron,

You could certainly be correct, but I would have used the color film. Here's my thinking . . . color would capture the dark, purpulous skies, the brown muddy waters, the pastel houses floating in the water, but I think the real decision would be based on what color pants suit was she wearing. I'm going for the contrasts here that may be somewhat understated with the B&W.

Just MHO.
