I tried to imagine how this picture would look in B&W, but I think it wouldn't have the same effect, at least for me. This picture says "it will never be the same again" by the already pale hand held by the two darker hands. I don't think it would be possible to say the same in B&W. I recently had to say goodbye to a uncle who died of cancer. He was my favourite uncle and I saw him the last time a few days before his death. My aunt asked me to make a few pictures of him during the visit, but I wasn't able to do it... I want to remember him like he was a few years ago, full of life and holding a glass of wine. I didn't want to document him with his failing body, so I enlarged a snapshot made years ago during a wine tasting and gave it to my aunt. I don't know why I like David's photo and would put it on the wall, but wouldn't take one of my uncle in his state.
