| 371125 | 2005-07-10 22:49:00 | Ethics 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 . OK? Here we go then . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . You are in Auckland for the Anniversary Day regatta . There is chaos all around you caused by a huge tidal wave . There 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 virtually hopeless . You're trying to shoot career-making photos . There are smashed buildings 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 Don Brash: At the same moment you notice that the raging waters are about to pull him under . You have two options -- you can save the life of dynamic and charismatic Don, or you can shoot a dramatic Pulitzer Prize winning photo, documenting the death of the Leader of the National Party . 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? Cheers Billy 8-{) :) |

| 371126 | 2005-07-10 22:53:00 | Ethics Test snip Would you select high contrast colour film, or would you go with the classic simplicity of black and white? After the Orewa speech, black and white every time, mainly for its symbolism. :rolleyes: |

| 371127 | 2005-07-10 23:03:00 | Aha, but if you took it on colour, you could always convert it to black and white later, and then you would have both. | mejobloggs (264) | ||

| 371129 | 2005-07-10 23:09:00 | Irish Logic Smitty left Belfast and moved to Toronto and bought a donkey from an old farmer for $100. The farmer agreed to deliver the donkey the next day. The following day, the farmer drove up and said, "I'm sorry, but I have bad news - the donkey died last night." "Well den," said Smitty, "Jus` give my money back den." "I can't do that sir, I spent it already." "O.K. den. Jus` unload dat dead donkey." "What are you gonna do with him?" " I'm gonna raffle him off." "You can't raffle a dead donkey, you dumb Irish git!" "Well dat's where you're wrong. You wait and you'll learn how smart we Irish people are!" A month later, the farmer ran into Smitty, and asked, "What happened with that dead donkey?" "I raffled dat donkey off. I sold 500 tickets at two dollars each and made $998." "Didn't anyone complain?" "Just dat guy who won. So I gave him his two dollars back." |

| 371130 | 2005-07-11 00:24:00 | While on tour in Ireland a few summers ago, I was on a self-walk, that is without guide, and found myself without any timepiece at all the tell if I might be late for a (perish the thought) meal prepaid in the ticket . I spied an old farmer on a small knoll, milking his cow, and speaking loudly, I asked him if he had an idea of that time . He placed his hands under the cows udder and hefted it, saying to me after a moment that it was two-thirty in the afternoon . Not being a farmer myself, I was amazed at the old man's ability to tell the time that way, so I asked him: "How is it that you can tell the time of day by the heft of the cow's udder?" He turned to me again and said: "If I lift the cows udder up just SO, why I can see the clock on the steeple of the church down the road" . :waughh: |

| 371131 | 2005-07-11 01:17:00 | Regards the flood and photo question. I'd throw him the camera and then high-tail it out of the disaster zone like any sensible person. | pctek (84) | ||
| 371132 | 2005-07-11 02:50:00 | Regards the flood and photo question . I'd throw him the camera and then high-tail it out of the disaster zone like any sensible person . Hmmm . . . . . . . . . . That shows lack of greed, avarice and downright sneakiness PCT . What would a drowning politician want with it? That would be a terrible waste of a perfectly good camera . You throw the nearest brick at him, head for higher ground, tell your editor that you lost the camera in the water trying to save a drowning child, and sell it on Trade-Me . Most people would kick a drowning politician straight back into the tide if they managed to drag themselves to shore, so there's even less credibility in claiming you lost it saving Don Brash . Cheers Billy 8-{) :D Of course if it was Winston Peters you could have it both ways . Throw him the camera, he'd take a great publicity shot of himself then throw the camera back to you to get his photo on the front page of the disaster edition!! |
