When I took a college course in photography, the professor had a thing for B&W images, so most of his assignments focused on black and white captures, which I quickly learned to dislike. They seemed so mundane, like they just stripped the life out of the subject, especially colorful things like flowers. The pictures simply appeared dead.
However, these kind of worked for me, so good job at capturing a “feeling”, which is so necessary when the color is stripped away. That is the real art of B&W photography, being able to capture a feeling. I guess that’s what the professor was trying to teach us.
I often find B &W images more interesting than color. In the right circumstances, B&W really makes texture pop. And I’ve noticed how well very old B&W family pictures have endured and still look good today. Thanks for sharing your viewpoint.
