Morality 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. Please scroll down slowly and give due consideration to each line.

THE SITUATION
You are in New Orleans and there is chaos all around you caused by a hurricane with severe flooding. This is a flood of biblical proportions. You are 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 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 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 color film, or would you go with the classic simplicity of black and white?

sugarpunk: black and white is mostly only for artsy stuff these days ... most photojournalists are using digital these days. during processing, you have the ability to alter to b&w.

thanks for voting!

I'd use color so it would be easier to see the goofy expression on his face.
