Black and White Photography

Black and white photography uses the tones from pure black to pure white.  To me, well-done grayscale images are more powerful than color images. They strip away our focus on or preoccupation with color and leave us just a bit off balance and just a bit more open to the relationships of tones, shapes and line to one another.
