The power of Black and White

I don't know if you have noticed but for the past weeks I have almost only be posting black and white images on my facebook page and Google plus. I don't know, I guess I am in a black and white mood. I also understand more and more that Black and white has such a power to reveal a subject into one image. It is said that color photography shows people clothes, while black and white photography shows people's souls. And I do agree with that.If there are no vibrant, dynamic, essential colors to be lost on a photo, why not turning it to black and white and reveal the essence of our subject, helping the eyes to get to the eyes faster, getting rid of what is not needed?Please be active on the comments below, we can have some interesting discussions about it.
