Dear Ted and Marc,
I interpret Ted's adage as a reminder that color may distract the
viewer from the emotive, graphic message that the photographer is
trying to convey, but Marc has also shown that color can add to the
mood and drama if used in the .... eh.... right light.
Perhaps at one point we have to agree that regardless of medium, a
photograph can also be a reflection of the photographer's own "soul"?
At any rate, these are my humble attempts at B&W of people, more
photojournalistic than portraits:

Finally here is yours truly masquerading as a Taoist fortune teller :-)!

Hi Dave,
Yes it's mine and it's this way:
"When you photograph people in colour you photograph their clothes.
But when you photograph people in B&W, you photograph their souls!"
Mine for a great number of years.
Thanks for asking and your compliment. :-)
