[Leica] Black and White

[abridge at gmail.com (Adam Bridge)]

If you had written this five years ago, Luis, I'd have agreed with
you. But now I find that, using digital cameras, I'm shooting in color
but knowing I'll be printing the image as black and white and so
that's what I'm looking for when I'm shooting.

Now I know I'll be taking the image and running it through a B&W
conversion process. I've learned to see differently - perhaps more
completely.
