Digital BW, The Print

My reason for shooting color rather than  B&W is that, now that I am 
printing digitally, is that I can look at each color neg with any of 10 
different digital color "filters", each of which gives a somewhat 
different view of the image data - just like using filters in front of 
the lens, but live and interactively. Plus I can conceivably mix and 
match any combination of those "color filters" to give effects like 
using various filters on the lens and some that probably don't even exist.

Of course I don't often do that any more, I just use the Channel Mixer 
in RGB to bring out the details I want to make prominent or get a 
certain look or Layer different Channels for separating areas by color 
effect.
