A serious dilema

Moral Choice

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 New Orleans 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 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.

THE TEST

Suddenly you see a man 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 realize who it is. It's the President, George W. Bush.

At the same time you notice that the raging waters are about to take him under forever. You have two options- you can save the life of the President, or you can shoot a dramatic Pulitzer Prize winning photo, documenting the death of one of the world's most famous men.

THE QUESTION

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?

Being from this side of the pond, the answer is easy: black and white, the true film for photojournalism.

Ted

I'd use color, or referrably digita. Then I'd watch to make sure he really did go down!

On the other hand, with Dick Chaney next in line, maybe not. Maybe I'd just sell the photo and let W sink or swim!
