Morality Test

[J.O.]

This test has only one question, but it's an 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.

TEST

You are in Miami, Florida. 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 fury.

Suddenly you see a man floundering in the water. He is fighting for his life, trying not to be taken down with the debris.

You move closer . . .

Somehow the man looks familiar and you suddenly realise who it is. It is George W. Bush (insert name of your favourite politician here if you like)!

At the same time you notice that the raging waters are about to take him under, forever. You have two options - you can save his life, or you can shoot a dramatic, Pulitzer Prize winning photo, documenting the death of one of the world's most powerful men.

So here's the question, and please give an honest answer.

Would you select high contrast colour film, or would you go with the classic simplicity of black and white?

[Seeker]

Black and white for sure!

As a seasoned veteren photo-journalist, you've probably got more than one camera and they'd be loaded with both b&w and colour film, as well as a digital just in case...
