Tina,
B&W was far superior. It is what Ted says. Color is a distraction, we see
the color of the dress, the green of the folaige, the red of the fire: we
don't see the people as people living their own life. In B&W I can still see
the young girls face caught in part smile, proud that her picture is being
taken but also a little shy about why me. In B&W I see the grandmother
working very hard at the fire, cooking the families beans.
