Moral dilemma?!
Question: THE SITUATION:
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 photojournalist working for a major newspaper, and you're caught in the middle of this epic disaster. The situation is hopeless. You're trying to shoot career-making photos.
THE TEST:
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 who it is.
It's Hillary Clinton! At the same time you notice that the raging waters are about to take her under forever.
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 and brilliant women.
THE QUESTION:
Would you select high contrast color film or would you go with the classic simplicity of black and white?

absolutely the black & white. better detail, and no annoying color to distract you as you watch the light leave her eyes...
And so artistic. ;o)
defintly the color...
me
black and white it's more deadly
Plain... He doesn't deserve better...
Netiher I'd jump in and save her
I would set the camera timer, jump in and save her and hopefully get that photo. Would it be possible to have the raging water in brilliant color, Hillary in basic black and white and superimpose Barack?
Black and white
Megan says:
Color. You can catch the sudden paleness in her.
End.
color, you can always change it to black and white in photoshop :D
