extension of "Why do you use b&w?"

[Anand DHUPKAR]

It was quite interesting point 'why do you use b&w' and also the perspective various people put. When I started my photography around 20 years back in India, b&w was substantially cheaper and possible to be done in the home-darkroom at night.

Then came color, and more importantly, 'ease of color processing' everywhere and anywhere - just drop the film and pick-up it up later.
This became so easy that family-members got 'kind of hooked up' to color and me - the earlier amateur and now the family-man had to kind of do color. Day-to-day hectic things don't really give time to do those home-darkroom thing anymore - I would love to do it, though.


So, my question to all who replied on 'why do you use b&w',
HOW MANY OF YOU DO YOUR OWN PROCESSING ? AND IF YOU ARE NOT PROFESSIONAL, WHAT KIND OF SET-UP YOU HAVE ?

TIA

Good answer!

You don't need colour to define
shape, form amd texture.
