I agree with all of you. I shoot color, colour, and B&W. Since I shoot 
mostly digital, the images are mostly color, but sometimes I convert to B&W 
for artistic reasons, and sometimes (most of the time) when I convert it is 
because I cannot get the damn colors to look right. Then afterwards I 
rationalize my laziness by saying the B&W is about photographing the soul 
etc.

I love great B&W and I love great color. And fortunately, I get a lot of 
both from the talented people on this list.

Cheers,
Nathan
