this is sloppy as hell, but I wanted to break in my new camera, and it's very dark outside. didn't do much work on it except a little desaturation... aiming for a pale fragility.
While that is pretty sloppy, I can tell you and I probably have a somewhat similar eye re: photography. Remind me to scan some of my stuff for you some time (it's all B&W enlargements/constructions).
I really should get a digital SLR one of these days. The only thing that's stopped me from taking many art photos these last few years is want of a darkroom. Do you know of a good B&W digital SLR out there? Or do digital cameras not even come in B&W? I totally suck ass at color, and I imagine there's something of a tradeoff that could be made between image quality/f stops and color in digital photo hardware.
as far as I know, all the good ones have a B&W option-- mine has a little thing you tick off in a menu to shoot in black and white, along with options for filters and and toning effects. I'd definitely like to see some of your stuff!
I figured probably there were plenty of digital cameras out there that could shoot B&W via some option or switch or something, but I imagine they generally use the same CCD for color and black & white photos. The engineer in me wants to think there are CCDs out there made specifically for B&W photography that could squeeze out one or two more f stops over a comporably-expensive color CCD.
