That only shows how long time it takes sometimes, in this case from being accepted in New York in 1905 to Oslo in 1971.Well, Stieglitz resolved that issue with Gallery 291 and that was many years before 40 years ago....

I am on your site Jorgen. B&W is for me a personal expression. It has not to do with how I want to see things, but more how I feel about it, how I think. Nothing after the image was taken.I mostly take photos for myself, and I'm endlessly surprised whenever somebody else enjoys looking at it.
I do that too when I shoot film too, like this week with the OM-3. With digital, the process tends to become a bit more confused.Art and the making of it seems to inflame passions.
It is funny, when I load up my MP with a roll of B&W I hunt for B&W images.
That makes a lot of sense.either b&w or color can be a relief, depending on circumstances. eastern europe and russia around the fall of the berlin wall included a very drab atmosphere. color must have been craved. whereas we're so bombarded with it, a b&w photo might be a bit of peace, like stepping for a moment into a church on manhattan.

"The world isn't a question to be answered, rather a mystery to be lived."
Photoshop has been part of the creative process as long as Photoshop has existed, and long before digital cameras were commonplace. Is it really interesting if the colour/b&w question relates to digital photography or not? The choice exists. If there was a camera that would give us the same choice with film, and I believe that would be technically possible, although somewhat impractical, the principle would be the same.And Lili if I may paraphrase yours, photoshop is the new camera ,any decisions can now be delayed until after the creative process(is that possible?)No its not possible,that leaves photoshop as the creative act.
