And now you are taking a lot of black and white photos:) I really like b&w, somehow they look more gentle and peaceful to me. But I guess it's hard (maybe harder than colored ones) to get a clean shot with b&w.Nevertheless, the feeling of serenity does show up in your pictures:)

Actually not so hard as you guess. :) At first I also think b&w is hard. But later I found the best part of it is: you walk arround from color balance problem. In some cases, color is not important, in night, in some single color environment. It's almost same with color or not, just b&w plus some kind of hue. 　 　But on streets, b&w is much easier to make the picture hamony. If with color, it will be a big choas. Colors may fight with each other. But in b&w, this problem is ignored. So I think an admirable color street/record photo is much harder, more demanding. You need to be very smart and quick and master of all factors. I can't do it yet.

That makes a lot of sense:-) But then in a less crowded environment, I guess b&w is harder to convey the rich information a color shot can. Although I feel anytime in a natural scene, crowding is a big problem. This really makes me feel our visual system is so good at filtering information:-) -- what I see, and what I hope to be shown on a picture, is seldom the same (most of the time much cleaner/nicer obviously) as what I can get on a shot.

true. 　　 learning the difference between the way eye/mind perceive and the way the camera produces pictures is always the skill to be learned. and, of course, B/W and colour photography differ also here. 　　to me, it sometimes looks like this difference is best expressed by the sentence by ludwig wittgenstein: 　　 　　"not _HOW_ the world is, is the mystical, but _THAT_ it is." 　　 　 　colour photo will show how the world is (well, at least a little part of it). but B/W tries to catch the mystical that is behind the surface of things by abstracting from the obvious. 　　 　　sebastian
