A day to day acount of the whacky and wonderful world of Muggaz - i tend to be having too much fun these days, and often cannot remember moments due to debauchery - its time the internet repayed my loyalty by recording my antics.

With all your honour and dignity what would you do? 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 be able to test where you stand morally. The test features an unlikely, completely fictional situation, where you will have to make a decision one way or the other. Remember that your answer needs to be honest, yet spontaneous. Please scroll down slowly and consider each line - this is important for the test to work accurately. 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 over you. You are a CNN photographer and you are in the middle of this great disaster The situation is nearly hopeless. You're trying to shoot very impressive photos. There are houses and people floating around you, disappearing into t! he water. Nature is showing all its destructive power and is ripping everything away with it.

Suddenly you see a man in the water, he is fighting for his life, trying not to be taken away by the masses of water and mud. 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 away, forever. You have two options. You can save him or you can take the best photo of your life. So you can save the life of George W. Bush, or you can shoot a Pulitzer prize winning photo, a unique photo displaying the death of one of the world's most powerful men.

And here's the question (please give an honest answer):








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

Hey I would have really saved him.... I guess I see the true colors of people's hate for GW. Well I would have saved him if I could, but I don't want to die with him.

LOL Pretty good set up there Muggaz, I admit you had me going...

Of course, my training and experience jumps in to answer the question before the question here. Since we are tought that the worst thing you can do is jump in to save anyone in that situation.

The rescuer's responsibilities are to self, team and victims.. in that order. A dead rescuer doesn't do anyone any good.

So, with that in mind, I'd be able to take the camera shot with a clear conscience... and classic Black & White film with a slow shutter speed instead of flash (for a more dramatic effect) as the rescue team plans the best route of access. ;~D

I think I'd go colour. The reflections of the water and the lightning would make the lighting less than perfect for a black and white shot. With the conditions the only point of colour would probably be the president anyway, and the contrast would make for a great shot.
