These are some black and white film shots from back in the day when I developed film and printed by hand. I liked printing in the darkroom. Fiber paper was my favorite. I think black and white photography will be around forever in a specialist and niche way – in the same way that horse and buggies still exist for certain situations.
Personally I think our brains process black and white images differently that color ones. For the first 99.95% of our 3.7 billion year evolution the only time a purely black and white image would be seen was under moonlight. Night time is a scary time and requires special visual attention for survival. Those who were better at it had more chance of survival and I think some remnants of that evolution are still with us because there is now no reason for that DNA to be selectively removed. Just my theory.
