Black and white are colors - John Alton has stated, and no cinematographer in film history has more deeply explored the value of those colors, or the nature of the violent contrast between them, than has
John Alton. - I could see more in the dark than I could in color. -
* It's probably a good idea to spend at least a year concentrating on black and white photography, before shooting in color. It is a source of discovery and expression.
* Certainly every photographer should learn to work in both black and white and color. You may choose to use one more than the other, but you should get to know both.
* I've heard a lot of people say that color photography is harder than black and white photography. It is no more difficult and no easier; no more or less important, artistic, or expressive than black and white.
I'm really honored to be among such beautiful pieces

All I can say is that black and white pack a punch. That's for sure.
But if you can do it right, the emotion is much more powerful. I'd be happy to read and contribute more on this subject if you write about it again. I'm sure there's lots to uncover and analyze.
I will think about what the next 'lesson' of black and white could be, and I'll send you a note, maybe we can think of something.
I want to start from the beginning with these features and notions about black and white.
