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.

PS--I hate darkroom work. Always have, always will. Maybe that's why I 
don't mess with the stuff.
