There is a particular beauty, clarity and projection of pure energy in black and white imagery. Textures become rich. Tonal variations are clear. What are often perceived as imperfections or flaws reveal character, giving more life to form. It is free, unbound, emotive and telling, speaking truth.

In color, we see the dynamic beauty and richness of humanity's varying skin tones. Yet, humanity in black and white, is simplified. Seemingly, free of illusion and perhaps more equal. In black and white, the people become shades of grey.
