Ethics Test Question

(Tough decision)


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.

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 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.

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
women.

So 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?

here and there
personaly I think that the Black and White would be more dramatic, But I would use the color film to get the full effect of the situation...

Eh, I'd save her, kidnap her and ask for a few hundred million, make the papers anyway and if I don't get killed myself, live a life of luxory in Cambodia.

Does that mean you live in a pyramid-shaped casino?

I'd save her, then take a color photo of her with the caption "Hillary in '08!"

Shoot in color then scan into the computer. Convert it to b&w to see the difference. But then again if I was a modern day photojournalist I would be using digital anyway so it wouldn't be an issue.
