I need to find more time for my hobby...I've missed going out on random shooting sprees...Photography makes me happy even if I suck at it.

I have to say I went to one of the coolest places today....

Zilker Park Botanical Gardens here in Austin, Texas.

I fell in love with the Taniguchi Oriental Garden....wow....so beautiful....

I'm ready to go back already!

Having arrived safely in Texas after driving 23 hours straight...I've come to the conclusion I will most likely NEVER do such a thing again!

Texas is so freaking hot....I knew it would be uhm..warmer here...but Sunday I thought I was going to pass out from heat exhaustion.  I'm not sure if I can deal with the heat...

Haven't had much time to photograph anything...I'd like to but between having to look for a job and meeting people and just trying to get used to being here period...it could be awhile =)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~MORAL QUESTION~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
                         




This test only has one question, but it's a very important one. By giving an honest answer, you will discover where you stand morally...The test features an unlikely, completely fictional situation in which you will have to make a decision.

Remember that your answer needs to be honest, yet spontaneous. Please scroll down slowly and give due consideration to each line.



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 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 George W. Bush!  At the same time you notice that the raging waters are about to take him under forever. You have two options--you can save the life of George W. Bush, or you can shoot a dramatic Pulitzer Prize-winning photo, documenting the death of one of the world's most powerful politicians.



THE QUESTION...........................................................................................................


Here's the 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?
