Think for a moment. If I asked you what are the greatest photographs you’ve ever seen, would you name color pictures or black-and-white ones? Almost every great picture you remember probably was black-and-white: Ansel Adam’s incredible landscapes, Weston’s nudes, Churchill scowling at portraitist Yousef Karsh, Rosenthal’s flag raising at Iwo Jima, W. Eugene Smith’s picture of death in a Spanish village or his Minimata pictures, almost the entire body of Cartier-Bresson’s work might be among them. Can you name for me the great color shots?
