I wedding I shot last year, the bride wanted all pix in Color AND B&W... making twice as much work as editing was different for Color and B&W. when asked why, her response was B&W can be so much more dramatic. I agreed with her.
I have been into photography since I graduated high school in 1970 I was a photo lab technician in the army in West Berlin and I have always been partial to B/W there is something special about watching your photo come up in the developer. I have been kicking the idea of teaching a B/W film course to keep the art of darkroom work alive. I do like color too and shoot mostly slides but its been a while. I have a small digital for shooting also. I love it all.
