Blue Noir

I once read a novel where the main character had had his eyes (and brain) wired so that he only saw the world in noir-ish black and white.

I can see the theatrical allure in that.

Black and white has a sort of dream-like clarity (and otherworldliness) to it. It seems oddly perfected, in a reductionist way. I have been taking a fair amount of black and white photos with my new camera. Playing (and enjoying the results).

But...still.

I do feel myself yearning for some color. Maybe it is the grayness of these days.

I was looking at the photos that I have associated with The Allurium's "Winter Theme" and wishing that they featured a bit more range.

I love the noir groove.

But I want to go multi-chromatic.

Oh yeah.
