Digital BW, The Print

Speaking strictly for myself, when I'm *thinking* in b/w, I don't 
care for the distraction of making conversions from color (which 
doesn't happen in just a mouse-click, either, at least if you're 
particular about results). In addition, shooting film give me the 
option of printing via non-digital processes with ease. In short, I 
can work with the image as I wish, with or without a digital 
intermediary.
