Ted, Steve
IMHO it doesn't matter whether it is color or B&W- it is content and
what the artist wishes to convey. Steve has combined the two
passions in his life and mastered them both-each of the pictures
below conveys a specific feeling. The medium used to convey really
didn't matter it was the impact. I've noted below exactly what drew
me into the shot. Tell me if you are seeing the same.
I agree, the whole color bw issue has been somewhat over done I
believe, to the detriment of the message, the content... it depends
what you are trying to say...(and I'm primarily a bw shooter)
if there is nothing ! to say besides "look at the color"...then a) is
it worth saying ? and b) the color had better be good...

Here it was the eyes you can just about feel the intense
concentration of the surgeon.
yes

Here it is the hand that leads me in and then the tube or whatever
it is that takes my eye down to the patient's scalp for a look see
as to what is happening
and you can see the bone flap of the skull, cut and being lifted up

this one to me is very powerful--I'm first drawn to the bright spot
on the hand on the left at which piont I'm lead down into the
picture by the v formed by the two tools. As I linger there I get
the feeling of the delicate touch and steadiness of the hands
agree...delicate/security

If there was a weak picture in this series--this would be it. The
black hose splitting the bright spot distracts--but it still leaves
you wondering as to what is going on.
the bright spot is the hole in the skulll and the brain below...

Now this picture does convey a whole different feeling As a lay
person and never having been in an operating room awake my
preconcieved notion of an operating room is one of squeaky clean,
sterile etc etc.(even though I know better)
it is squeaky clean and sterile.... but blood and tools etc..are
another thing...
it's a sterile, clean workshop
This image goes against what I concieved. I was drawn to the tools
on the left because of the line formed by the three tools, then I
was pushed back into the picture by the hammer ready to strike-kinda
like "smack!!! get back in there you ain't done looking yet" Now
here is where the color part comes in, because if it were in B&W I
would probably miss the blood droplets flying throught the air
agree with you...Steve
Ok that's my 2cents worth
