hey,
I shot it directly on b/w film.

Often I wonder, if it would be better to generally take all pictures in color, because sort of really the memories bound to the photographs become black and white also... loose their colors. And I did that for a time, shooting everything in color.

But on the other hand, i don't know. It simply feels better in b/w. maybe it's a sort of lying to yourself. Photos in color often have some distracting colors in it, like maybe a red bottle which concentrates all looks on itself, while black and white everything is far more romantic, far more even, reduced to light and shadows.

Maybe it sounds stupid, but i like my black and white memories better so far .
However, thank you very much, for the kind comment and the . I hope you enjoy the show .

I agree. B/w does add an extra amount of emotion in almost all cases and, just like you said, some moments are better left in b/w.

It's just that I imagined that particular photograph in very soft colors, like a smooth fabric, if you see my point. Oh well, somehow all my memories are in color, some vivid, other less.

Thanks for replying.
Best wishes and good luck.
