Recently I looked at my Parents wedding album. They were married in 1962. All Black, and white. The pictures are so beautiful. I wish I could have thanked their photographer. He did a great job. Contrast that to my Sister in Laws wedding pictures from the Mid 1970s. They seem so dated. They almost have a clown like feel to them because of the ridiculous looking clothes people where wearing. Is it because the clothes in the 70s were just that much worse? Maybe. But probably not. I think it is because Black, and white is timeless. You're not distracted by a color that is long out of fashion, or flowers that don't match dresses, etc..... You are drawn more toward the eyes, smiles, hands, figures. They are far more emotional. A black, and white image can say things a color image, or even a video can not. An album full of black, and white pictures on your coffee table will never go out of style.
