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 in this unlikely, fictional situation in which you will have to make a decision.

THE SITUATION

You are in New Orleans, there is chaos all around you caused by a hurricane with severe flooding. You're a photo journalist working for a major newspaper, and you're caught in the middle of this epic disaster. You're trying to shoot career-making photos. There are houses and people swirling around you.

THE TEST

Suddenly you see a man 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 Rev. Al Sharpton.

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 the "Reverend", or you can shoot a dramatic Pulitzer Prize winning photo, documenting the death of one of the world's most famous men.

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?

    Hello Krazykrau.,

    I'm a small person, 5'5" and 95 pounds with my clothes on. So, for "THE TEST" part of your post, saving the life of the "Reverend" would not be one of my options. If I attempted a rescue in your test situation, the "Reverend" and I along with my career-making photos would all be taken under together!

    Considering the subject, I would choose the classic black and white! It only makes sense..... His black and white issues, he is black, I am white, my choices are black and white, and black and white make for some dramatic photos!

    Defo High contrast colour then you can always sell it as black and white later.

    I would get someone to take the photo whilst You also get his last words too.
