Black and white is abstract; Color is not.

Black-and-white photos are especially fascinating. For some reason, they often seem deeper and more striking than the colour ones. Perhaps it’s because they don’t try to distract us with bright colours, but rather cut straight to the chase.
A Monster Design found 10 photographs that prove just how expressive black-and-white photography can be. Try imagining them in full color — it simply won’t be the same.
