Blown Away

There are two reasons why I shoot in black and white a lot. The first is a technical reason; seeing the shades of grey helps me quickly control my exposure the way I want. I don't have to worry about colors distracting me, it's pure grey scale. The second reason is a little different. When I'm flipping through all the photos I've taken after I've gone out a shot a bit and I flip to a color photo, it really blows me away.

I feel like we don't appreciate color photos as much as we used to, mostly because color photos have become commonplace. I still like to be blown away by a photo from time to time, even if it's just a simple one like this.
