Question Moral dilemma

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.
No one else will know, so you won't be fooling anyone but yourself if you give anything but a truthful answer.
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.
Please read slowly and thoughtfully, giving due consideration to each line.
************************************************************************

Here's the situation:

You are in New Orleans.

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, award worthy, Pulitzer contender 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. Its your BOSS (no need to mention name).......yes your very own BOSS!!

At the same time you notice that the raging waters are about to take him under...forever.

You have two options -

You can save his life or you can shoot a dramatic prize winning photo, documenting the death of a famous personality.

So 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?

Re: Moral dilemma

Honestly .. the only moral dilemma is whether to the admin for posting an oft repeated joke or not.

I thought the question was going to be a) would you save your boss (a human life) or b) would you take a photo (which is your duty).

I am not really a photo expert, so can't say what would be good with water (dirty) in the background, but I think color photo will be nice.

well,I have better things to do rather than betting against you for finding a repeat post!!
If you can't find the link,who else will be able to?
Forget it,it is not a deal.
