#photography neditry

I work mostly (not exclusively, but mostly) in B&W. That’s a deliberate, but not particularly daring or radical, choice on my part. Lots of photographers work in B&W.

B&W appears to only be “controversial” on the Internet. “Why work in B&W when you could use color?” ask, over and over.

It’s like asking “why make still photos when you could make movies?” or “why make pictures when you could make 3D sculptures?” or “Why write books when you could make pictures?”

    Philosophical Q: Why do B&W images look more real than color images? Is it because I am of an age when newspaper images were almost all B&W and when some of us had B&W TVs? Or is there more to it than that?

    Because I like them.
