Morality Test
This test has only 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 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.
Ready? Here we go . . . .
You are in Florida . .
in Miami to be exact . . .
There is chaos all around you, caused by a hurricane with severe flooding.
This is a flood of biblical proportions.
You are a photo journalist working for a major newspaper and you're caught in the middle of this great disaster.
The situation is nearly hopeless.
You're trying to shoot what may be, career-making photos.
There are houses and people swirling all around you, some disappearing under the water.
Nature is showing all of her destructive fury.
You see a woman in the water. She is fighting for her life, trying not to be taken away with the debris.
You move closer . . . somehow the woman looks familiar.
Suddenly you know 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 her or you can take the most dramatic photos of your life.
So, you can save the life of Hillary Clinton, or you can shoot a Pulitzer Prize winning photo, documenting the death of one of the world's most powerful women.
Here's the question, and please, give an honest answer:~~~~~~~
Would you select color film or would you rather go with the classic simplicity of black and white?

The question is really no question at all. It is set in the premise that the reader would choose to take pictures instead of saving a life.
Save her is the correct choice. The question as to which film is therefor irrelevant.

Good one NDD... Although I now have tea all over my desk from the maniacal giggling, I appreciate the laugh.
BW IS cheaper... If you went color, it'd be because of the Pulitzer, not because SHE deserved it.

Would stepping on her fingers or tossing her an engine block not be viewed as a viable option?

That would be a waste of an engine block..... Although it would meet its end in service to its country..

"And in further news, a blood-stained Engine Block has been awarded a medal and oil bath for felling Hillary Rodham..."

Definitely black and white...it would offer a very dramatic pictorial.

I have a bad back, so the "tossing her an engine block" could not be viewed as a viable option for me. However, I could probably toss a couple of 8" concrete blocks at her, and I would bet that there would be more of those around (readily available) than a spare engine block.
In answer, I'd prefer using at least a 5 MP digital (something like a Nikon 5700) camera (but I'd have to be using the optional 5x high definition professional wide angle lens), so we could obtain high quality images providing definitive proof that "Olde Piano Legs" went down for the count.

People, people, people!
Digital! It is all about digital! Take the shot with your digital camera and you have all the options in the world.
Color
Black and white
Photo Shop
Or you can even animate it to relive the moment.
