A Haunting Photo

For me, I think part of the reason that black and white automatically feels more artistic to me is that it inherently removes the interpretation of a photograph as simply a window catching a moment. The reality has been interpreted in some way, even if it is as minimal as translating color to grayscale. And with that front and center it keeps in your mind that a photograph has an intent, a structure. That the person behind the camera is approximately as important as what was in front of it.
