To see in color is a delight for the eye but to see in black and white is a delight for the soul.

A Great Example of B&W With Great Detail and Contrast

Hi Guys,

Take a look at this great photograph by Scott Crane.  We talk a lot about the power of black and white photography.  Can you see why this photograph is better in black and white without the distraction from the detail that color would create? Visit Scott Crane’s website, The Oswegan, and look at his other photographs when you get the chance.  Let me know what you think.

Mr. Chambers
