"The difference between black and white" and colour photography is to me obvious. From a business point of view I find that black and white photos have a visual power relating to image quality that even the most professional colour work cannot achieve. If after all image power lies in the impact of an image on the viewer, then it can be said that black and white is the superior form of photography, and therefore the choice of the true professional. Why would one market a lower quality product when the truth is obvious. And why is the seed of masterful perception, abstract art, not seen as freely expressed in colour photography. In my opinion abstraction is the foundation of truely professional vision. Where one has mastered abstraction, one has mastered profession, despite what the untrained eye may believe." -Bob Domaradzki

"Black and White Photography" does more to evoke an emotion and freeze a moment in time than any other medium. Looking back over the decades at such famous photographers as, Steigletz, Weston, Adams, and others has helped elevate Black and White Photography, to a Fine Art form. The subtle tones of grays, the strong emphasis of the Blacks, and the softness of the Whites makes one look much closer at the subject and composition due to the lack of natural color.

Emotions are always much easier to portray with Black and White, because of the stark contrasts and the sharp focus on the subject."-Bob Snell
