Why in this high tech world b&w images are so popular? We are surrounded by digital cameras with great color fidelity, producing amazing skin tones, and yet many prefer black and white to color. There is something timeless and simple in b&w photos. Monochrome images are often helping directing the attention to what photographer wants to show, discarding the distracting colors. Not to say I don’t like color photography, in fact I love both. However often times my personal work ends up being converted to monochrome for some reason. Here is a recent picture I took of my wife. I love her beautiful brown eyes, and yet, when deciding how to print it, I decided to go B&W. There is no point in this post really, I just wanted to share a reflection I had when preparing the file for printing. Choices are good
