Default Thursday's dilemma...

..I don't think that we've had this one before but I just found it so...


You're in Florida...In Miami, to be exact...
There is great chaos going on around you, caused by a hurricane and
severe floods...

There are huge masses of water all about you.
You are a news photographer and you are in the middle of this great
disaster. The situation is nearly hopeless...

You're trying to shoot impressive photos, photos that capture the
emotion and tragedy of the events. Houses and people are floating around you, disappearing into the water! Nature is showing all her destroying power, ripping everything asunder...

Suddenly you see a woman in the water. She is fighting for her life,
trying not to be taken away by the masses of water and mud. You move closer. Somehow the woman looks familiar. You know who it is -- it's Hillary Clinton! At the moment you recognize who she is, you also notice that the raging waters are about to take her away, forever. You realize you have two
options. You can save her or you can take the best photo of your life.
You can save the life of Hillary Clinton, or you can shoot a Pulitzer
Prize winning photo, a unique photo displaying the actual "passing" of one of the world's most powerful women.


Would you select colour film, or go with the simplicity of classic black and white?...(was actually the dilemma..)...or/aternatively would you save her or get that photograph..?...
