Well, except that I can't remember any magazine on any topic sticking strictly with black and white, and in my 20+ years in network television, I have never been involved in the production of anything but shows in living color. I love Winston Link's work and his autographed books are treasures in my collection. But Winston's stuff is of a world 45 years ago and the B&W helps convey that period (and his color work is great, too). Yes, b&w is an art. Yes it has it's place. So do antiques. --DRB PS--I hate darkroom work. Always have, always will. Maybe that's why I don't mess with the stuff. ======================================================= -> SPORRS: 'Serious Photographers Of Railroad Related Subjects' -> Web Site: http://www.anet-stl.com/acphotog/sporrs/ -> Message © 1998 SPORRS® - All Rights Reserved =======================================================
