Sometimes things look better in black and white than in color.  There's a movie called The Mist, directed by Frank Darabont, based on a Stephen King story.  His preferred version of the film is a b&w cut that the studio would not let him exhibit.  It's okay, though, the Blu-Ray release of the film contains the theatrical, color version, and Darabont's preferred, black and white cut.  The black and white gives the film an eerie, timeless look.

I decided to shoot the same street scene in color and then in black and white.  I think that the b&w has a tactile quality that the color is lacking.

More tomorrow.
