Absolutely no need for color!

I don’t find myself missing the colors here as everything seems totally normal and understandable.

Now is this because I was brought up on B&W photography and that is what is normal to me.

Tell me, Robert, when you show this monochrome work to the folk as is your custom, have they ever reacted differently to B&W?

Do they ask where the color has gone?

Thanks Asher. No I have never had anyone suggest anything other than what I provide them. Wouldn’t matter if they did though, I am a little bit of the Apple philosophy—- I don’t give many options - and my options are all they have to choose from. LOL.

I would have thought that local folk would have been raised with only full color. I guess that when one is being given a picture and one is thrilled that this tourist actually kept their promise and returned with a picture, that it could be rude to ask about the color at a time when they are simply thrilled with your kindness.

Still, if you get a chance, ask some folk! I wonder whether our brains don’t even need the color.
