Why is it that black and white photos seem to capture detail in a far higher way? I suspect it has something to do with the way our eye retina cells work... anyone know?
Stephen - have you read Roger Scuton's famous essay on why photography is not an art (I only ask since you just addressed something by him). If so, your thoughts?
I love the camping and muddy walk ones, they make me feel very reminiscent :-) And the mountain ones look sooo striking in black and white. I'd never lug a big camera all the way up there though- I'm one of the "chop the end of your toothbrush off and eat off a compass" people!

No I don't. You're right though, I think....
I love your "portrait of T and A, taken by window, natural light" and "camping." You do beautiful work.
Thanks Jackie. Glad you like camping one as I do too, but not many others like it so much.

Very nice, thanks for sharing them.
Hi Kosh - no haven't read it - have you?
No I have not read it either, yet. Supposedly his argument is quite neat.
