Reflections...

I have felt that Black & White photography is something more communicative than colour photography. In colour photography everything is revealed to the original in the first look itself, while I have felt that if a black and white photo is seen, we will take more time to look and study that photo. Why because we see the world in colour now, what I mean is most the print media is now in colour, and many of the television receivers are in colour. So in the world of colour if we see a black and white photo, I’m sure people will stay for a deep look to it. In the above photo the wide frame will speak more than the colour, isn’t? While talking about black and white let me take this time to remember our old black and white studios, and the then photographers who have proved their skill on   b & w still photography. I could recollect the old ORWO film in b & w. Anyway in a world of speed and colour let’s not forget the world of black and white which we came through.
