When I was taking pictures for myself in college, I normally shot black and white film. Partly because it was cheaper (*grin*), but mainly because I liked the results and the looks. I have two photos from back then framed and they have been on display pretty much since I got the back from the developers. I enjoyed the challenge of trying to take a well defined and balanced black and white.
After college when I started shooting for the company I worked for, they did not want `artsy’ black and whites, they wanted event photos they could use for marketing, and I switched to shooting only color film, and then digital, and there I stayed. I enjoy doing color a lot, and have tuned my eye to color, but I have found a few posts over the last few days which got me playing with black and white again, and I think I like it. One site which had me spellbound for a while was the site of the famous portrait photographer Yousuf Karsh. I think I will be playing with light and tones and shooting in black and white for a while.
