Strating from the color to (occasionally) end up with B&W

I love colors and till a few years ago  I’ve usually considered kinda ridiculous to take pictures in Black and White… unless there is a specific will, for example:

-”I want to make the picture look old”

- “I want to play with editing photos program”

- “I want to see how it looks like”, etc…

I found pretty annoying people that say “B&W is MORE artistic…”. Every time some told me such a thing I had to “bite my toungue” to not start asking: “What do you mean by “more artistic”? Why don’t you just say “I like B&W more”?”

I don’t have many B&W pictures… except those one that are”low key shots” (or kinda) like this:

or because, for some reason that I don’t know a picture seemed telling me:

“I might look nice in B&W, try”.

Thanks Lord taking pictures is not something that follows a 100% logical path, it’s a lot based on instinct (or feelings if you wanna be a little more “romantic”).

I NEVER take shots directly in B&W, even when I think that I’ll  turn that picture in a B&W one. Why? 2 simple reason.

1) A man I trust a lot (as a photographer) once told me that it works better if you take your pictures in raw and color mode. So the first cause is that I’m able to “trust”.

2) I’m a dreamer (or unsure) kind of person: I always think that later I might enjoy that shot more in color than in B&W, so “Why should I cut a chance of a better beauty in my life?”

Here I’m just telling my “way to be” with no intention of teaching something… How could I?
I’m the “living abortion” of a physicist and an i-photographer (imaginary photographer) who knows pretty few about post production and quite nothing about photography history… therefore my words worth quite nothing in both worlds, but I do think that I might share “Beauty I see”, therefore I’ll keep on taking this blog. At least it helps me to not get crazy and start hating life

Enjoy your life!
