To Voss and others. I love all your photography work. Very cool! I'm an older guy used to shooting B&W film, then processing and printing it! However, when I see your Street Photography presented in B&W AND Color, I much prefer the color 95% of the time as it portrays much more information to me. So, why do you Street Photographers prefer B&W? Always makes me wonder!!!
Thanks, cjc2. I don't think there's a simple answer to your question. All my B&Ws start out as color, and often the color appeals to me. But then I convert to B&W, and that frequently appeals even more. And sometimes a color shot will remind me of a snapshot, whereas there's something more artistic about the B&W. And sometimes.... Anyhow, there are a lot of different reasons for one way or the other, and the particular reason tends to depend upon the particular photo.
