A photographic dilemma


Here's a dilemma for you.  With all your honor and dignity, 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 be able to test where you stand morally.  The test features an unlikely, completely fictional situation, where you will have to make a decision one way or the other.

Remember that your answer needs to be honest, yet spontaneous.

Please scroll down slowly and consider each line - this is important for the test to work accurately.

You're in Florida. . .in Miami, to be exact.  There is great chaos going on around you, caused by a hurricane and severe floods.  There are huge masses of water all over the place.  You are a CNN photographer and you are in the middle of this great disaster.  The situation is nearly hopeless.  You're trying to shoot extraordinary photos of the disaster.

There are houses and people floating all around you, disappearing into the water.  Nature is showing all its destructive power and is ripping everything away with it.

Suddenly, you see a man in the water.  He is fighting for his life, trying not to be washed away by the masses of water and mud.  You move closer. Somehow, the man looks familiar.

And then you know who it is - it's George W. Bush!  At the same time, you realize that the raging waters are about to sweep him under, forever.  You have two options.  You can save him, or you can take the best photo of your life.  You can save the life of George W. Bush, or you can shoot a Pulitzer prize winning photo, a unique photo displaying the death of the president of the United States.

And here's the question (please give an honest answer):

Would you select color film, or go with the simplicity of classic black and white?
