I too, have been totally dedicated to B&W. I've always felt that the
seduction of color distracts from the essence of what I want my photograph to say.
The color in a photograph usually seems flat to me - artificial , in a way,
because unlike a painting, it doesn't reflect the nuances of perception.
HOWEVER - there are some subjects that are about color. In a small town in Mexico, a
man walking in front of a deep blue wall, carrying a bouquet of yellow
brooms is about color. Since I have my 7800 with K3 ink ( a few weeks now),
I've succumbed to a few color prints. I've been such a strict adherent to BW in
my statements and exhibitions, how can I suddenly show color? Is it like
switching political parties? Changing religions? Maybe I'll just keep color as a
secret vice.
