It's Hillary Clinton! At the same time you notice that the raging waters are about to take her under forever.
You have two options:
You can save the life of Hillary Clinton or you can shoot a dramatic Pulitzer Prize winning photo, documenting the death of one of the country's most powerful women.
THE QUESTION:
Here's the question, and please give an honest answer ...
