This dilemma only has one question, but it's a very important one. By
giving an honest answer, you will discover where you stand morally.
The dilemma 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 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 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. You suddenly realize who it is. It's
George W. Bush!

At the same time you notice that the raging waters are about to take
him under ... forever. You have two options--you can save the life of
G.W. Bush 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? :D

Film?

I'd take the shot, thus cementing my career as a top photojournalist, then save him and be a Hero of the US and live happily ever after in a nice warm land with low taxes.

Think I'd select a .44 Magnum just in case the flood didn't do it's job properly
