ETHICS 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. 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.
Please scroll down slowly and 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 photo journalist 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 woman in the water. She is fighting for her life,
trying not to be taken down with the debris. You move closer. Somehow the
woman looks familiar. You suddenly realize 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 the life of Hillary Clinton, or you
can shoot a dramatic Pulitzer Prize winning photo, documenting the death of
one of the world's most powerful women.
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?

Black and white gives the best contrast!

I wouldn't even take a picture of her. I'd turn my back, and let her last seconds of life replay in her mind for all eternity: her last hope of rescue dissed her.

Cute question. I'm guessing you are all being cute with your answers too. I wouldn't think any of you would actually let her die, no matter how much you despise her politics. It isn't like she is Osama or the Night Stalker.

I don't care for her politics and would never vote for her, but I'd do my best to try and save her. Now, if she were Osama or one of similar ilk, that's another story.

I disagree....Hilary,Jane Fonda, osama ,jessi jackson, howard dean and others are deliberately trying to destroy America...they have caused the deaths of many by their treasonist speaches and actions...I wouldn't loose any sleep over any of them. They have done more to dismantle America than any others in history.

You guys are awful saying you would take pictures of her misfortune .......... I myself would put down the camera, pull it out and relieve myself downstream as I watch America relieved of her presence.

I'd go with black and white, I wouldn't want to risk breaking my good lense by taking a picture of someone that insanely ugly.
