I have been thinking a lot about black and white versus color. I have spent probably four hours this evening looking through the works of photography masters, trying to decide whom I would like to research for photojournalism class. There is such a huge difference between the two. Black and white seems much more direct-there is not the distraction of color, there is an immediacy to it, and of course elegance....and yet I think it lacks a certain warmth. After hours of looking at B&W photos,granted the majority of them depicted suffering, I was relieved to come back to my colorful blog! Agreed it is not as serious and professional looking-but I admit I prefer happy to somber. Speaking of black: I find the black background with white lettering for our DMF website very tiring on my eyes to read.... This was the long version explanation for my posting of Tipis drawn by Dot in both color and monochrome....and I have happy memories of living in Tipis.
