B&W vs Color Photography



(Source: Henri Cartier-Bresson)

I'm a photography novice.  I somehow managed to buy a really fancy camera from a guy leaving Singapore for ~$325 USD (about 20% the original cost).  I basically stole it.  

It makes people think I'm a fancy photographer (I'm okay with the illusion).  It also makes people want to "talk shop" (which turns into a very short talk).

Confession time -- I'm just now learning the difference between Black & White vs Color photography.  Not the pigment (I'm not colorblind); just when to use one versus the other.

Removing the "T" from Can't

The NYTimes ran an article this week called "Kids These Days" -- it showcased uber successful twenty-somethings, from designers to writers to entrepreneurs.

The article is not unusual.  

We're fascinated by folks that have done more in a few years than most will accomplish in their lifetime (see 30 under 30).  We like the National Spelling Bee, the Little League world series, the start-up stories of Facebook & Google and NBA basketball stars younger than most of the spectators.
