Here's a dilemma for you.... What would you do?
 
This test only has 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 be able to 
test where you stand morally. The test features an unlikely, 
completely fictional situation, where you will have to make a
decision one way or the other. Remember that your answer 
needs to be honest, yet spontaneous.
  
Please scroll down slowly and consider each line - this is  
important for the test to work accurately.
  
You're in Florida...In Miami, to be exact... There is great 
chaos going on around you, caused by a hurricane and severe
floods. There are huge masses of water all over you. You are 
a CNN photographer and you  are in the middle of this great 
disaster. The situation is nearly hopeless.

You're trying to shoot very impressive photos. There are 
houses and people floating around you, disappearing into the
water. Nature is showing all its destroying power and is 
ripping everything away with it.
 
Suddenly you see a man in the water, he is fighting for his 
life, trying not to be taken away by the masses of water and 
mud. You move closer.  Somehow the man looks familiar.
 
Suddenly you know who it is - it's George W. Bush!

At the same time you notice that the raging waters are about 
to take him away, forever.
 
You have two options. You can save him or you can take the 
best photo of your life.  So you can save the life of George W.
Bush, or you can shoot a Pulitzer prize winning photo, a unique 
photo displaying the death of one of the world's most powerful 
men.
 
And here's the question (please give an honest answer):
 
Would you select color film, or rather go with the simplicity 
of classic black and white ?
