“Why shoot in black & white”

            I think that shooting in black and white is very old fashion which to me is something good. Things that look old fashion seem more interesting than some things that don’t. Another reason why it is good to take photos in black and white is that it keeps that type of style alive, and not forgotten like other types of style. Also shooting in black and white helps the main reason of a photo to stand out and not fade in the background if it was to be left in color. So I think that keeping the black and white photo in style is a very good thing because if we keep it around longer then generation after us can still look at them and be inspired to keep it going as well.
          Since there is some type of disagreement whether color photos are better than original black and white photos, people should think what came first. I would think that people should deal with the fact that black and white photos came before color so it should still somewhat be like that in some not all but some photos that are taken because it would just look better that way. Black and white photos have been around since the 1800’s and they continue to be a part of our life today. In my opinion I think that color is wonderful and distracting but black and white photos are beautiful and somewhat pure.
