Further explanation of the theme, in the words of by our Week 14 Winner sixtoes:
Black and white photography requires a reliance on purer composition techniques, and
emphasizes contrast and texture over other elements. Let's see what you can do with a big
tool - color - taken out of your toolbox. Whether you choose a 'retro' black and white film
look, or use Photoshop to make a cutting-edge abstract masterpiece, the challenge
before you is the same - B&W only.
CARS: Any
LOCATIONS: Any
PHOTO TRAVEL: Yes
UNIQUE RESTRICTIONS: B/W only
