                                                  Blog 4:  Compare and Contrast


I have chosen to do my compare and contrast essay on black and white photography versus color photography.  Though it may sound simplistic, there are varying thoughts on both forms.  My purpose in writing this essay is to enlighten myself and those who read it, that black and white photography continues to have a strong presence in our art world, even though the standard today is color.

I chose this topic because my favorite hobby is photography.  And I am intrigued with the idea of shooting more black and white images.  This compare and contrast essay will likely set my interest in motion.

  1. I love your topic. I am really into photography and some of my favorite photos I have edited were black and white. I like how you spin the black and white as "timeless" and having to use imagination, and then color as contemporary. Looking forward to your essay!

    1. Thank you Jen! I hope to incorporate more black and white photography into my own shooting. It seems like it's almost a lost art for many of us...

  2. I like your topic and why you chose it! I think the purpose of your paper sounds really interesting. I've never thought of how and why today we think of color as standard, but still revert like back to the older style of taking black and white photos. I can wait to read more about it in your paper!
