Are You Honest?

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 Florida , Miami 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 a 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 furor.

THE TEST:

Suddenly you see a woman in the water. She is
fighting for her life, trying not to be taken down with the debris.

You move closer.

Somehow the woman looks familiar. You suddenly
realize who it is. It's Hillary Clinton!

At the same time you notice that the raging waters
are about to take her under forever.

You have two options:

You can save the life of Hillary Clinton, or - - -
you can shoot a dramatic Pulitzer Prize winning photo, documenting
the death of one of the world's most powerful and brilliant women.

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?

Colour. I want to capture the bleak grayness of the water contrasting against the colour of whatever she's wearing at the time.
Besides, I can always convert to B&W in photoshop later! =P

I would give her a great big rock to hold, as well. For perspective, of course. With all that water, actual size could be confusing. So I would give her a rock. A big rock. A real big, heavy rock. A VERY big rock, boulder actually. For perspective.:D

I always carry two bodies...so I can shoot B/W and color...and I would gladly toss her that big rock life preserver...just to help her on her merry way!

I'd probably give her two, just in case one fails.

Neil, I seem to remember it from even before that!

In fact, I'm a little surprised the question is still based on film type.

I like Hillary. There, I said it. With the crap she put up with from Bill, it's a wonder the woman can walk around holding her head up.

That said, I'm sorry, but I wouldn't intervene to save her, unless I got the Pulitzer first. Then I'd have no trouble pulling her out. Hopefully I'd wind up as white house photographer.

Color. Then save her and take the all-wet shot for a British Tabloid.
