THE SITUATION:

You are in Latvia, Riga 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 photo-journalist working for a ''Diena'', 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 into the
water.
Nature is unleashing all of 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, the man looks familiar…
You suddenly realize who it is… It’s Atis Slakteris! You notice that the
raging waters are about to take him under forever. You have two
options:

You can save the life of Atis Slakteris, or you can shoot a dramatic Pulitzer
Prize winning photo, documenting the death of one of the country’s most
powerful men!

THE QUESTION:

Here’s the question, and please give an honest answer…



Would you select high contrast colour film, or would you go with the classic
simplicity of black and white?

bwhahaha

Mjā, fotogrāfu humors

I would use colour film, if digital not awailable!
