Black and white are the colors of photography. To me, they symbolize the alternatives of hope and despair to which mankind is forever subjected.
When you photograph people in color, you photograph their clothes. But when you photograph people in black and white, you photograph their souls!
Black and white is how it should be; white gets a little too boring, black is a little too bold. The best things happen in shades of gray.
To see in color is a delight for the eye but to see in black and white is a delight for the soul.
Black and white are the colors of photography, which sees the world in terms of light and shadow.
In the black and white world, there is no gray. You are either truthful or you are not.
Black and white is abstract; color is not. Looking at a black and white photograph, you are already looking at a strange world.
