  1. I read this take on black-and-white vs. color years ago, and it’s stuck with me:

    “As is well known, viewing a color photograph is different from looking at a black-and-white one. Film theorist Stanley Cavell has noted that both in photographs and in movies, black-and-white pictures are psychologically perceived as documents of completed action. The motifs in color photographs, however, appear to be from the present, or even in a certain sense from the future. They are less burdened with the labor of memory, and are therefore easier to approach.”

  2. YES MOAR PLEASE.

    I always savor your work (you manipulate colors with digital like others did Kodachrome, amazingly), but B&W will always be right next to my heart heart heart heart heart. (Thump.)

    The one time I was in Chicago, I shot the fool out of some Ilford B&W. Still love those shots. Oh the Zone System.

    xoxoxo and thank you
