The Appeal of Monochrome
What is it that makes monochrome or black and white photos so perennially appealing? I'm sure we all have personal reasons for liking them, I know I do. l prefer monochrome, black and white, even sepia, to colour in many photose. One reason of mine is that colours decay over time and sometimes brutely date photos. Photos taken in the 70s? Oh, sad! That washed out, fading fast, tinges of sickly yellows, oranges and blues. Monochrome is timeless, the years may come and go, the shades may sometimes weaken, but a photo taken long ago is as dateless as one taken today.
