I like the B&W.] On the other hand, I favor B&W, so I don't like going through a color step and then taking it out, when I can go directly to B&W film. I'll only want to use color when the subject warrants, and nowadays, without Kodachrome, that means turning to digital, even though I still can't abide the thought that the image is being broken down into square-edged pixels rather than being recorded by random, multi-sided grains. No matter the MP count, a digital image of a diagonal or curved line will have a regularly spaced sawtooth edge, and if God is in the details (as they say) I guess I'd prefer more feminine, rounded details of a Goddess.
