My enduring flirtation with photography began in high school with a simple Kodak camera, Tri-X film, and fumbling in the darkroom. It soon shifted to various 35mm analog cameras and color slide films. This match continued for the next 30 odd years. It was a tough transition, but I went digital around 2008 and have since gone through almost annual generations of cameras and processing software. Now I’ve arrived at a phone camera driven by amazing processing software. But what if I’d just stayed with black and white? I explored this thought by scanning and de-colorizing some of slides from days gone by.
