Ethics question

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.

-------------------
THE SITUATION:

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 you. 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 very impressive photos.
There are houses and
people floating around you, disappearing into the
water. Nature is
showing all its destroying 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 taken away by the masses of
water and mud. You move
closer. Somehow the man looks familiar.

Suddenly you know who it is - it's John Kerry!

At the same time you notice that the raging
waters are about to take
him away, forever. You have two options. You can
save him or you can
take the best photo of your life. So you can save
the life of John Kerry, or you can shoot a Pulitzer prize winning
photo, a unique photo
displaying the death of one of the world's most
powerful wannabe's.

THE QUESTION:

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

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

I would use color film and then develop it both ways. I would then decide which looked best and release that version. Then when my photos are racking in some serious cash I would release the other version in limited supply.

I'd take the color picture (can always make it B&W as stated), then save him because it only takes a few seconds to take a pic. Razz

I would ask him if he could hang on just a bit longer so I could get both.
