Pay No Attention to this Photo Lest You Be Corrupted

Only in black and white can I see the design and textures. I don't consider color photography art. Black and white is an interpretation. Color is a duplication.

Color tends to corrupt photography and absolute color corrupts it absolutely. Consider the way color film usually renders blue sky, green foliage, lipstick red, and the kiddies' playsuit. These are four simple words which must be whispered: color photography is vulgar.

Based on the above quotes, I consider purist black and white photographers arrogant, sanctimonious, self-important, and, perhaps, just a bit self-serving.
