This is the current unknown. At one time I'd have said, "I see in black and white. I speak in black and white." The six Gallery shows I had over the years were all black and white exhibits. All of the museum invitationals I hung in were black and white prints. But that was all back then. And this is now. We'll see if I still have anything worth saying in black and white; or if I'm just an old man trying to relive his youth.
