This test has only one question, but it's a very important one.

The test features an unlikely and completely fictional situation in
which you will have to make a decision. Only you will know the results,
so remember that your answer needs to be completely honest.

THE SITUATION: You are in Palm Beach with chaos all around you caused by
a hurricane. There 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 the water. Nature is
unleashing all its destructive fury.

THE TEST: Suddenly you see a man in the water. He is fighting for his
life trying not to be taken down with the debris. You move closer.
Somehow this man looks like …WOW … it's Donald Trump. At the same time,
you realize the raging waters are about to take him under forever.

YOU HAVE TWO OPTIONS: You can save the life of Donald Trump, OR you can
shoot a dramatic Pulitzer-Prize-winning photo, documenting the last
minute of one of the world's most powerful and evil men who is hell-bent
on destroying the USA.

YOUR DECISION: OK. Here's the question, and please give an honest
answer: Would you: (A) select high contrast color film, or (B) go with
the classic simplicity of black and white?


Silly question. A news person makes his money exploiting the suffering
of others, not trying to alleviate it.
