Actually everything you see on the web was shot in color, mostly Fuji 400.
I turn them into B&W's for presentation on the web because that is what all
of the photos on my regular site are (www.moondanceimages.com).   I like to
encourage use of B&W and this is one way I do it.

Yes it is almost all available light, except for the dancing.  I don't
strobe anything else unless I really really have to.  Leica M6's with a 28,
35 and a 50 and a Nikon F100 with a 60 macro and an 85 1.4

I end up shooting a lot of my stuff wide open (f 2.0) and at shutters as low
as an 8th, though I try and stay in the 15th range for a better percentage
at actually getting an image without people moving in it.

They way I do things, she gets everything so yeah, you can say she bought
them.
