Subject: One Question Test
Since we are not doing well with my 5 question quiz...here is a One Question Test

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 your answer needs to be honest, yet spontaneous.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THE SITUATION:
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 photo-journalist working for a major newspaper, 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.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 and she looks familiar. You suddenly realize 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.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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?"

I'm a huge Ansel Adams fan... definitely black and white.

I am going to have to go with black and white as well. Better transition to newsprint, and less factors to take into consideration to get the perfect shot in such a chaotic situation.

Do both.

Save her, take some shots of the water, then get her to pose in a bath and photoshop the image of her in the bath and there you have it a prize winning photograph.

Hmm. Hilary Clinton in a bath. Mmm!
