Every now and then I get sick of the colour cliché (mine and others'
images as well). Then I switch to BW and suddenly discover the
subject in the colour chaos. Lately I even put a yellow filter on
the lens to help me ignore the offending colour. On this picture,
one wouldn't have made
It was stated by someone yesterday that bw
is nice for the abstract character it provides.
I use bw for the sense of texture it provides.

(which is why I also like larger formats for color)
Why
Hi, Collin,
Well, for one, it's what I'm used to. When I started taking photos as a
teenager, bw was far cheaper to buy and process than colour. Over the
years, I've stuck with what I feel I know best.
I love what can be done with colour, but for me, colours sometimes
detract from the essence
Why do you use bw?
I use it because all the photographers I admire use it.
