Is Black and White Photography still Popular?

Lately, while seeing more and more beautiful color landscape photos, in the back of my mind, I kept thinking: "what is happening to black and white photography?" It seems as though with introduction of digital photography, and new color films, people are moving away from black and white, and towards color. This trend is especially true in nature and landscape photography. Troubling trend, it seems.

Black and White creates a different dimension in photography. It reminds us of the past. It reminds me of old manual equipment, the skill necessary to capture beautiful images, all the different filters, and the time which photographers took to produce that one remarkable photograph.

The lack of color is what makes these photographs so special. Subtle differences in tone are revealed through the many shades of gray. These same tones are lost, when photographed in color. Well, for all the people who still appreciate and enjoy Black and White, we promise to offer more photography either shot in B&W, or professionally printed in Black and White.
