An internal quest.

After a day of shooting, it's time to edit and process. Yet every time I do this I discover a recurring problem, but the routine process begins anyway... Favourite iTunes playlist- check, blinds open- check, memory card- check, lightroom- check, okay lets do this. 


But now I find myself in this repeating pickle. Black and white or colour...??? I often spend hours processing my photos and I will always come back to them a few months later to do the same thing but just the opposite and I can never seem to beat this double sided beast inside of me. Black and White is a drug to me and Colour is reality, some times I know I have to come back to reality but black and white is to tempting, it's to sweet. And I know it comes down to what your subject is but I always seem to find my self in the black and white realm. So I have combined some images for comparison, trying to decide once and for all to be more 50/50 with my choices or is this my thing.. But when reality Michael left the room for a second the black and white junkie snuck in and I have some how tricked myself into uploading more black and whites..
