What a wonderful gallery of portraits - a pure motley of souls inside.
Very impressive artistic and compassionate work you're showing us here compiled. How do you manage to do that? I mean, getting permission from total strangers to pose for you, apparently, and conveying this sense of getting "caught" in their very essence as human beings. 
Great work.These are masterpieces:

Ted,
A fine sentence, but I only can disagree with it. BTW, I think the B&W is often use as an easy way to achieve a more dramatic result. http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Marc/People+I/Absorption.jpg.html

I hope the colours and clothes don't prevent to perceive their soul... 
Best regards,

    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. J

    ted

    Hey Ted,

      Did you coin this phrase?   "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
