A thought when photographing with my RICOH GR III [high contrast mode] of a (color) wedding photo I had on my refrigerator:
The joy of black and white is having the power to re-interpret and re-imagine reality around us!
Then perhaps what makes photos more artistic — when it is a *reinterpretation* and re-imagination of things … rather than photographing things as they are, but to inject a sort of surrealism or your own interpretation to them!
