It's as if color robs us of some level of imagination. <br /><br />In the movie "Jezabel," Bette Davis' character went to a ball in a red dress -- a shocking statement in those times. In order to create the feeling of the red dress for the B&W movie, the costumer tried a number of colors, including red. The one that created to mental image of this shocking red dress was a deep brown. Our imaginations did the rest of the work. <br /><br />I still have my old Nikon SLR. Maybe I need to invest in some Kodachrome just for old times sake. I took some mighty good photos with that film.Billyewriteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17717588350578781681noreply@blogger.com
