black-and-white-macroFor some reason, human emotions — sometimes — can only be best presented in black and white photos.

Take a look a some of the photos which appear on the Smashing Magazine blog. The human emotions depicted in the black and white pictures there seem to be much stronger.

This photo of a native man of Borneo smoking a homemade cigarette is taken in colour but I like this version better. This man had previously appeared in this blog as “The Thinker“. Here are another collection of black and white pictures showcasing the power of the monochrome.
