As you fine people might have noticed, I sorta kinda mostly tend to produce color images. According to my math, it's about 100% of the time. (But who are we kidding, I'm terrible at math...) Well my friends, there has been this vile thing lurking around the interwebs in which a photographer "challenges" another photographer to create a black and white image.  Then that photographer challenges someone else and so on and so forth. It's like an evil monochromatic chain letter monster stampeding the color out of everything.  Ok, so in all honesty it isn't really evil per-say, but challenge is definitely a good word for it (at least when it comes to me and my work). I just love color. I love how different tones can evoke emotions and moods and visually make the viewer look at the image in a different way. Color can aid in composition and help to highlight key attributes of the image. Carefully crafted color can drive the viewer's eye around an image like a road map. When that extra creative tool is left out of the creative process, it's a whole new ball game (but no balls are involved....)
