B&W


"What I like about black and white photographs

is that they're more like reading the book

than seeing the movie."



Black and White photos are so appealing to me.
I don't know who said the quote, but I found
that it resonates.  I love a good book.  A real book,
with paper pages.  My kindle is awesome for taking
on trips, no heavy books to pack, but there's nothing
like a book in print, black on white.

Maybe that's why I like the black and white photos.
Because each person can take something away from
the photo that's of their own choosing!

One can imagine that the hat on my head is bright red!
Or that the light in the window is bright sunlight, or a
gray cloudy day.  Skin can seem flawless, with only
edges and valleys.
