I seem to love black and white photography for some strange reasons. I think about it and thought maybe it is because I was born in an era where color overtook the black and the white. Color tv, color photographs, color posters etc.. People no longer want to go back to the black and white days. All my childhood photos were in color, even as a baby. Even as I started out photography as a young girl, I was already fascinated by what the black and white world had had to offer.
And now, in the digital world of photography, black and white is conveniently within my grasp. Almost anything can be taken or converted to black and white. I love tweaking a black and white photo. A black and white photo has so much emotions and feelings in it. I can almost see a story unfolding behind each photograph.
Yet, black and white photography is so profound. It really brings you back to the very foundation of photography - light. Even if you want to tweak a photo, it has to be done right or you will lose the black and white factor.
Well, there is so much to learn about it and every photo taken/tweaked is a lesson learned. I love black and white.
