A moral dilemma...
Permalink  
 


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.


- - - - - - - - - 


You are in Cowes for the regatta. There is chaos all around you caused by a huge tidal wave 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 epic disaster. The situation is nearly hopeless.
 
You're trying to shoot career-making photos. There are smashed houses and boats with people swirling around you, some disappearing under the water. Nature is unleashing all of its destructive fury.
 
Suddenly you see a man floundering in the water. He is fighting for his life, trying not to be taken down with the debris. You move closer . . . somehow the man looks familiar.  You suddenly realise who it is.
 
It's Tony Blair: At the same time you notice that the raging waters are about to pull him under.
 
You have two options -- you can save the life of "Tony" or you can shoot a dramatic Pulitzer Prize winning photo, documenting the death of the British Prime Minister.
 
So here's the question, and please give an honest answer:


 


 


 


 


 


 


 


 


 


 


 


 


 


 



 
 


 



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

Great question - I must say.


But as I am born to Horner my fellow man, I could not even think (thinking would make this case even worse hehe). I would give the camera to a poor man (giving him something to barging with) then I would quickly get a view of the area, and then getting creative pretty fast. Probably using natures own roots, since they always seem to be in the way ;) and I could never ever compare a human life, no matter who even if it was Chikatilo (famous serial killer from Russia), I just had to save the person (even if he had a gun in his pocket, and was going to shoot me after helping him)

Problem. He wouldn't have the money to get the picture processed

Worse than that, the processors would demand unrestricted rights to distribution of whatever was on the film, including those rather tasty pics of Blair licking up to Sharon's Bush the day before

Well nothing is truly impossible.


 


Well Here is what I would do, Since I have the Knowledge (All westerners has), I would probably teach them How to produce the pictures themselves. And then your probably going to tell me; how and so?


Here I would say (Since I my self are somewhat an African tribal descendant, My father being from the Tamazight-people in North Sahara desert, I know a little to about their ways). But back to the picture production; well one would need a dark room, right. Well Not impossible to build. Well there my (technical construction education comes into play) I would mix, Sea water (Not using the drinking part), I would probably before using this water, cook out the Sea salt (so it may become more stable /my opinion). After doing this, I would dig a little into the earth, so one gets the Clay soil (red stuff), mixing this into the cooked water, steering it, then I would probably also mix Small stones into this mixture, to give it more strength. Now we have the mixture for the stones, which just have to dry under the sun. This way you are starting your publishing room./


OR


If you ever been Any where in Africa, you have probably noticed all the empty plastics bags floating around? (There are a lot). Well every body complains about them, I’ve always thought why not use them, when they are there (but they probably don’t know what we know, but they know other things in return). The knowledge I would ask from the African man would be his rope tying skills, which would be perfect for tying tree sticks together (don’t know the other words for this, Like when putting up at tent) Well the plastic would be the tent, and there we have a dark room, or just a room. Now for making the water that ‘prints’ the images onto the ‘paper’, is again a mixture easy to make, when one knows what is in it.


Sorry for writing All this,
