Digital BW, The Print

Since I got out of undergrad I've been shooting color film instead of
my favored Tmax 100, mostly because its cheaper to get color processed
by a lab, but I also like the fact that I can simulate using filters
(something I never bothered with while shooting B&W).  

Funny thing is I have the hardest time giving up the color image now.
I've never really been into color photography, nor have I ever been
any good at it ( I believe I got C's in my color classes).  Must be
something psychological-- my roommate is having the same delima.

I don't think this really relates to your post, sorry. I just felt
like sharing I guess-- it is Sunday after all.
