You also bring to mind another point that needs to be addressed more often everywhere- photography has always been expensive, but now with all the computer hardware, software and other necessary digital paraphernalia- it takes a hell of a lot more of an initial investment to be able to shoot "for pennies." And I fear it will become more and more an "art form" solely for those that can afford it.Stan B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17381743002180926900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4331321633387292810.post-22590856554914261982008-02-21T20:02:00.000-08:002008-02-21T20:02:00.000-08:00for some of us, black & white never went away. I ...for some of us, black & white never went away. I consistently shoot with B&W film. I also teach classes in the process to teenagers through the ICP's program at The Point community centre in the Bronx. The joy the students get from processing and printing their own film in today's digital world tells me that it will never truly disappear - whether the art market thinks it is fashionable or not..<BR/><BR/>Anyway, if you're interested here are some of my photos:<BR/><BR/>http://tomwhitephotography.blogspot.com/2008/02/new-york-streets.html<BR/><BR/>http://tomwhitephotography.blogspot.com/2007/12/travel-photographer-of-year.html<BR/><BR/>http://tomwhitephotography.blogspot.com/2007/11/new-jersey-streets.htmlTom Whitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03707445619651296310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4331321633387292810.post-49153844044377172102008-02-20T12:08:00.000-08:002008-02-20T12:08:00.000-08:00Every once in a great while a certain ad campaign ...Every once in a great while a certain ad campaign or video will come out in B&W and gain attention for its "striking" visuals. But, alas, I seriously doubt if the percentage of B&W in the "fine art" photo market presently approaches double figures. Personally, I don't care how "hip" it is (not saying you do, Nick), I just believe B&W a more than viable component of the photographic language. I don't know when it will resurrect, and certainly proclaiming its "Revival" despite any actual movement to that effect is oddly ludicrous. Color certainly took its time getting here, and it's having its deserved run- I continue to enjoy it much as anyone else. Just anxious to see how today's, or tomorrow's, practitioners will handle the inevitable B&W resurgence.Stan B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17381743002180926900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4331321633387292810.post-56453391328507642532008-02-19T21:58:00.000-08:002008-02-19T21:58:00.000-08:00Funny you should say that, i read in an article in...Funny you should say that, i read in an article in, i believe it was PDN, maybe it was something else, It was a few years old. It mentioned that contemporary photography will eventually no longer be dominated by color and that Black and White work will be what is "hip". I don't know how much i believe that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
