Re: OT? Am I crazy?

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.
