Digital BW, The Print

Hello Bob L,

>Having said all this, I have an inkling that we consider black and
>white more artistic and less representational (no argument there), 
>not just because of novelty or abstraction, but also because it 
>resonates with our peripheral, subliminal, and darker visual 
>experience--the world seen by the rods--the mysterious world seen in 
>the corner of your eye, in the shadows, in the darkness. By its 
>nature, much good still photography intrigues us by, among other 
>things, showing us a world we see but can't or won't notice or 
>contemplate outside of temporal experience. I think black and white 
>goes a bit further, by allowing our focused, conscious vision to see 
>the world as it might be seen by our peripheral, unconscious, and more
>primal vision.


Very thoughtful and interesting post.  Thanks very much.

Regards,
Clayton
