For the lack of color

I've always been drawn to the black and white photograph.  I'm not sure why either.  Who would have thought that the lack of that which we perceive every day could be so enamoring.  Save the color blind, that's what we're used too! Color! And lots of it!

Is it because what's lacking allows our imagination to fill in the gaps? Like the scariest movies monsters, that which is kept hidden from our eyes leaves our brains to do the rest of the work. Our minds eye can add any array of colors that it can come up with! An imaginary rainbow of different shades, brightnesses, and hues. We can make it our own as much as the one who captured it.  Would you like your sky purple? Your grass red? Or how about just like it always looks? Its up to you.  You call the shots. Imagine!
