Q. Ethics - Black And White Photography

Asked by Girish Menon (K=1384) on 10/31/2004

Black and white is sacred. Effective use of b&w film, using the light from the sun, zone five etc. I mean look, it is a specialized field. The ones who get a hang of it never let go of it and why would they.
I believe that the use of black and white film in studios (using artificial light only) is an insult to tradition. Also, digital files converted to greyscale using picture editors ? again I believe it is illegal and punishable by law.
A sacred form of visual art: film, tripod, cable release, manual cameras and lenses, heavy bags ? that?s what it is all about.

nonsense..
the invention of photography itself threatened tradition..so much art is about challenging tradition..
for photography enthusiasts to be bogged down by so called tradition is ridiculous.
please...
