"Where the HECK is Digital B&W?!?"
Mike Johnston’s Sunday Morning Photographer column this week asks: Where the HECK is Digital B&W?!? You will be nodding your head in agreement if you consider yourself to be a black and white photographer.
“Another way this plays out these days is that the ?tyrannical? market wants color. Most clients prefer it, most consumers take it for granted. Thus, most digital cameras, and printers, and programs take color as a given.
So, okay. The only trouble with that is that a small minority of us happen to be black-and-white photographers. I came of age at the very tail end of the era in which B&W was considered the only ?serious? artistic medium. Worse, I prefer B&W. Virtually all my work is black-and-white, and, believe it or not, that?s by intention.”
