as you know Marc, I am a very big fan of your gorgeous work...I must say that while bw never does not create soul, nor does color remove it, I am convinced that color often makes soul, when present, harder to appreciate...
in that sense, I do surely agree with Ted... btw your work here is predictably beautiful... I'd like to see bw versions of these for comparison, Steve

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.

"If you're photographing in color you show the color of their clothes - if you use black & white, you will show the color of their soul"If you did, good one. If not, do you know who did? Dave
