Here's a dilemma for you...what would YOU do?
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. This test features an unlikely, completely fictional situation in which you will have to make a decision.
Remember, your answer needs to be honest, yet spontaneous. Please scroll down slowly and consider each line. Thoughtfulness is important for this evaluation to be meaningful! Ready? Begin!
You're in Florida...in Daytona, to be exact... There is chaos all around you, caused by a hurricane and severe floods. This is flooding of biblical proportions. You are a photojournalist working for a major newspaper caught in the middle of this great disaster. The situation is nearly hopeless. You are trying to shoot career-making photos. There are houses and people swirling around you, some disappearing under the water. Nature is showing all its destructive fury.
You see a man in the water; he is fighting for his life, trying not to be taken away with the water and debris. You move closer. Somehow the man looks familiar.
Suddenly, you know who it is... it's 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 him or you can take the most dramatic photos of your life. So, you can save the life of the President of the United States, George W. Bush, OR you can shoot a Pulitzer Prize-winning photograph, documenting the death of one of the world's most powerful men.
Now, here's the question (please give an honest, thoughtful answer):
Would you select colour film, or would you go with the classic simplicity of black and white?
