The eternal conflict: monochrome or color? Making that decision drives me nuts on every outing. I have strict "no looking back to see what if" policy now. 😀

For what it's worth, I thought the zine worked very well in black and white.

Thanks, Stefan!! Great policy... but it's been a year, and I couldn't help myself. 😀 For artistic integrity, the pictures will always be black and white because they were shot with my backscreen and EVF set to monochrome. And I spent 3 months thinking that way.

Cheers, Daniel. I'm into the colours too. But it does mess with my original pairings. 🙂

You mean in the zine? Because here I think it works fine.

Yeah. These pairings are different to the zine.
