[Leica] Black and White

Tina, I prefer the color ones.  When I first looked I thought I'd like the 
BW because it's more "traditional" for this kind of work, but I think the 
color is important here.  First, it's how you "saw" the images when you were 
shooting, so it conveys some of your immediate response.  Second, people in 
this culture obviously use color to animate their lives.  It's totally a 
part of who they are.  And I agree with Luis that shooting in BW is diferent 
from shooting in color and converting later.  I don't think of color as 
arbitrary or capricious.  It's part of the form, IMO.
