This is a what if question. But it could happen, and I know I would want to do the right thing.
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 nearly hopeless.
You're trying to shoot career-making photos. There are houses and people swirling around you, some disappearing under water. Nature is unleashing all of its destructive fury.
Suddenly you see a man and a woman in the water. They are fighting for their lives, trying not to be taken down with the debris. You move closer. Somehow they look familiar and suddenly you realize who they are. It's Barack Obama and Nancy Pelosi!! (I won't go into why they were in Miami together) At the same time you notice that the raging waters are about to take them under forever.
You have two options: You can save their lives or you can shoot a dramatic Pulitzer Prize winning photo, documenting the deaths of two of the worlds most powerful people.
Here's the career changing 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?
