A few minutes ago, while washing the evenings dishes, this statement was heard from the television tuned to the weekly PBS programing of Image Makers:
“Take color television...Having had a color television we wouldn't want to go back to black and white...”
That statement caused some pause for consideration. Now I am old enough to have watched both black & white and color television and can truthfully state that I surely wouldn't want to go back to black & white television. But that doesn't hold in photography where I find myself increasingly drawn to the black & white image. Not that I'm opposed to the color image, mind you, for I usually carry both black & white and color films with me, but I find myself shooting more and more black & white as opposed to color. Now why would that be do you suppose? Why would I prefer to look at color images on a television set and black & white still photography images? Do you find yourself similarly situated?
