Here's a moral question for you.

This is an imaginary situation, but I think you will find it beneficial to think through this exercise.

The situation: You are in the Middle East, and there is a huge flood in progress. Many homes have been lost, water supplies compromised and structures destroyed.

You're a freelance photographer for a news service, you're traveling alone, looking for particularly poignant scenes that you can shoot.

You come across Osama Bin Ladeen who has been swept away by the floodwaters. He is barely hanging on to a tree limb and is about to go under.

You have to make a choice. You can either put down your camera and save him, or take a Pulitzer Prize winning photograph of him as he loses his grip on the limb.

So, here's the question ... and please think carefully before you answer it:










































Question : Which lens would you use?

actually I'd take the picture, then grab him and bring him back to life. Then after a few hours of torture, I would play tug of war with his body using a few trucks or horses.drinker
