The fun part for me I think is how the black and white just really takes the focus out of the other elements of the photos. We aren't just looking for the next bright colorful object to attract our attention to. We are looking at the thing overall, at least in my opinion!

This is basically the reason why I keep my phone in black and white, especially during the evening. Way less distractions and the need/want to keep using the phone decreases a lot.
