Andy,

I'm a portriat photographer who does commisioned portraits and 
commercial work involving people, including photography for theaters.

My own personal portfolio is about 90% B&W, and I could careless if 
anyone doesn't like it (lol!)

I would love to be able to only print b&w, put many paying jobs I 
have require "color".

Scott
