When you photograph people in colour you photograph their clothes. But when you photograph people in B&W, you photograph their souls.
Ted Grant
If an image had a soul it would be black and white. Even in these days of digital technology, the magic of black and white photography still persists. Ansel Adams - the American photographer and environmentalist, best known for his black-and-white photographs of the American West - said “The negative is comparable to the composer’s score and the print to its performance. Each performance differs in subtle ways.”
