Color is a wonderful thing. It really illuminates our life and gives it flavor and variety. Just imagine what is must have been like in the days of the caveman before color was invented. There was all these hot women running around wearing absolutely nothing and we were forced to lust after them in black and white. Well, now that we have the advantage of being able to use the full color spectrum we can get our erections in full glorious color.
In photography color is still a relatively new innovation, viewed from a persepective of all history.
Photography began as black and white, or more specifically monochrome. Not all early images were truly black and white. Many had a brownish tint (sepia), and others even had hints of blue when the cyanotype process was employed.
If a relatively young art form can be said to have a ‘classical’ period, it would probably be that time when monochrome was the only option. The first photographs to be considered art were all black and white. I suspect this may have let to psychological expectations as to what a classic photograph should look like. Achieving a timeless look has much to do with why many masters of photography continue to work in this medium. From a purely technical standpoint, black and white prints simply last longer. Even the very best color prints degrade over time.
To put it more simply so that the average male mind can understand, tits can look better and more magnificent in black and white!
