Something about Black and White

I was in a discussion years ago that just hit me in the head like a brick this hour. It's 12:30am Sunday morning and I'm watching 12 O'clock High on H&I Channel as I do every Saturday night. My mind recalls that discussion because it's happening to me now.

Tonight season 3 started and it's in color.
The 1st 2 seasons were black and white.

The discussion was about black and white pictures showing more detail and contrast in the content than a color picture. This is a matter of how the mind percieves the content.
I realized I'm more focused on the entire picture rather than the characters and story content. I had to pull up the program information to confirm my suspicion it was a new season. It didn't even have the In Living Color notice as so many other programs did as they changed over.
I am actually distracted by what we are all used to seeing.
My brain is telling me this program looks better in black and white and the story is more important than the picture.

Having been an amateur hobby photographer and developing doing my own prints I had a great appreciation for people like Ansel Adams who could turn a black and white scene into a visual thing of beauty.
I realized tonight my mind overly focused on the color and I think what was happening was I was dealing with something many of us dislike and that is Change.
