They will co-exist. For many professionals, color photography offers advantages over b/w photography. But for most *serious* amateurs (including many on this list, fine art photographers [pro or amatuer], and suchlike), however, I would argue that b/w has many advantages over color. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if we see a resurgance of interest in b/w photography in about five-ten years, much like there will be in radio, after television is introduced, with much higher quality than today, but more specialized listeners." > > > -- > DaveR > www.lightcurves.com > -- > -- > To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html > - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
