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 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. Thoughtfulness is important for this
evaluation to be meaningful!

Ready?

Begin!

You're in Florida. In Miami, to be exact. There is chaos around
you, caused by a hurricane and severe floods. This is a flood of major
proportions.

You are a photojournalist working for a major newspaper caught in
the middle of this great 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
showing all its destructive fury. You see a man in the water! He is
fighting for his life, trying not to be taken away with the water and
debris.

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 under, forever.

You have two options. You can save him or you can take the most
dramatic photos of your life.

You can save the life of George W. Bush, or you can shoot a
Pulitzer Prize-winning photo, documenting the death of one of the
world's most powerful men.

Now, here's the question (please give an honest answer).

Would you select colour film, or rather go with the classic
simplicity of black and white?
