Grafican, you are wrong about Black&White.
It's a bit sad that you create this narrow box for yourself.
Look at:
Saul Leiter
William Eggleston
Harry Gruyaert
Viviane Maier
Todd Hido
...Personaly I'm not fond of B&W because it's an abstration. I prefer color. But i'm not spewing shit like 'pay attention' blabla Cartier Bresson. I actually interviewed the son of the developer of Bresson. Guess who did all the magic. The developer. Yeah boy.

- Also Viviane Maier was discovered recently, she is not in the curriculums yet I believe. Todd Hido doesn't do street, more like landscapes, but his work is grea********
- You‘ve never even heard of Eggleston? And you’re dictating what isnt art?********
- Yeah just pointing out he also shoots colour and does both quite well, imo of course. On with it.ben_
- I was speaking to frafician********
