Is color the new way to go or does black and white still carry some of it's old charm?
If you're a photographer, do you prefer to work in the medium in color or B&W?
If you're a client or a photo enthusiast, does color or B&W have more appeal to you?
In your own opinion, should photographs "paint the world with color" or should they "capture the classic qualities in a simple B&W"?
