They say light is colorless. I set my camera’s JPEG to black and white, initially as a playful experiment, but I’ve kept it that way ever since. Not out of laziness, but because money’s tight. I heard they’re releasing another black-and-white camera, and the price is steep—Leica’s black-and-white models are still far from cheap. But honestly, I think the black-and-white JPEGs from a color camera are pretty good too. To put it dramatically, light is colorless—black and white is what photography is all about.
