I love color.<< Felix mon ami, The idea is: "When you photograph people in colour, you photograph their clothes! But when you photograph them in B&W you photograph their souls!" As in meaning the B&W is more revealing as it shows the innerself. One need only look at the portraits by Yousuf Karsh! I don't want to get into a big thing on this, but is it not a kind of accepted notion that B&W is a more powerful medium when photographing people than colour? Partially because the viewer can use their imagination to add colour if they wish or accept the B&W photograph as all revealing. ted Ted Grant Photography Limited www.islandnet.com/~tedgrant - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
