*Sobs* Have a good holiday!

AKA the continuing adventures of Will’s broken laptop and his attempts to get the damn thing fixed so he can continue downloading stuff getting his coursework actually done, even though we all know that the chances of that actually happening are somewhere near absolute zero due to Will being a world class procastinator, hence the reason he’s writing an absurdly long alternate title for this entry and possibly scaring his readership off instead of actually writing the entry.

Anyway, when I left the tale, I had bought some bulldog clips to try and get my screen working. These, along with cotton buds (no, really) did actually work. Meanwhile I waited the five working days for them to call me back. Which, of course, they never did.

In the meantime my oh-so-clever was still working. Untill Tuesday when it managed to actually crack the screen. Cos I is smart. S-M-R-T, smart.

Due to having college on Wednesday I was going to phone Toshiba on Thursday. But I didn’t need to due to the fact that they actually remembered that I had a problem!

Turns out I didn’t need to pay the £25 collection fee. However, if the repairs are not covered by the warranty (which, by the sounds of it they will be) and I don’t want to pay for it, I have to pay £32 to get my beloved computer back 🙁

So, they came to collect it today at 2pm and I should have it back within 3 – 5 days 🙂

And so, I’ll finish with a moral dilema:

You’re in Florida…In Miami, to be exact. There is great chaos going on around you, caused by a hurricane and severe floods. There are huge masses of water all over you. You are a CNN photographer and you are in the middle of this great disaster. The situation is nearly hopeless. You’re trying to shoot very impressive photos. There are houses and people floating around you, disappearing into the water. Nature is showing all its destructive power and is ripping everything away with it.

Suddenly you see a man in the water, he is fighting for his life, trying not to be taken away by the masses of water and mud. You move closer. Somehow the man looks familiar.

Suddenly you know who it is — it’s George W. Bush!

At the same time you notice that the raging waters are about to take him away, forever. You have two options. You can save him or you can take the best photo of your life. So you can save the life of George W. Bush, or you can shoot a Pulitzer prize winning photo, a unique photo displaying the death of one of the world’s most powerful men.

And here’s the question (please give an honest answer):

Would you select color film, or rather go with the simplicity of classic black and white?

The starkness of black and white captures emotions so clearly,and it’s ironic because the man never saw anything in black and white in his life.
