Back in my college days, I bought the most expensive equipment for my hobby... a Nikon FM SLR camera. It cost more than USD$800 at that time... which was a lot more than what a starving college kid can afford. At that time, my love for black and white photography was more important than anything else! Anyway, that Nikon SLR camera is still stored in a box in my garage... it has been there for 2 decades now... think, I will endow it to the Smithsonian come the next decade.Recently, I discovered that my already obsolete Nikon 2.0 MP Digital Coolpix has a setting for taking black and white photographs. Back in the old days, I would develop my own B & W's in the dark room but in today's digital age, it is a matter of tapping a couple of keys on the computer. So, I thought I'd give it a try.... I'd always preferred B & W to colors. There is something that B & W can capture in an image that color photography cannot. I think that contrasts, textures and even emotions are more conspicuous and better exposed in B & W.
