One of my dear friend Himadri once raised this query with some very valid points in some other posts which I thought of bringing under discussion (without asking him though).
1) When we see colour in our eyes, we can develop, print in colour so easily then why should we still continue making B/W?
2) We had discovered B/W first, that is why we have used B/W. Otherwise we would have continue colour.
I think B/W has its own merits and de-merits. B/W is un real as it has only shades of grey, that attracts us at first. B/W also can easily hides distraction (chaos) that otherwise different colours bring so easily.
Only shades of grey brinsgs out forms, shapes, graphics better in some situations.
I personally have started using digital photography when one of the reasons was the freedom and easy access to get B/W images and their prints. Getting B/W prints from films was getting difficult and costly.
What you all have to say here?
