The cowBoy
Friday, July 23rd, 2010So I couldn’t decide if I liked the black and white version or the color version best. The tie breaker was that there have been a lot of color photos on the blog lately and even more waiting in the archive for me to post. So there it is, my justification for posting the black and white over the color. Although, I must admit the color version carries a lot more storytelling elements because of the American flag draped behind the boy as well as the hat pops off the shirt a bit more. Also the quality of light was pretty nice on the boy’s face. Shit maybe I SHOULD post the color one. AAAAAARRRRGGGGGGHHHH. You know, just for the record, I am an indecisive person by nature so this is driving me crazy. I’ll tell you what, why don’t you click on the photo and you can see the color version of the photo and we will just have a vote. So if you are reading this post and looking at these photographs you have thereby entered into a contract with the administration of this blog to give your honest, unabashed opinion, etc. in the comment area. You will not be compensated, because lets face it, I am a journalist therefore I’m broke.
Thanks for looking.
Cheers,

This one TOTALLY wins!
Great shot.
Amy-Jo loves black and white photography but agrees with you that the color photo tells the story better…
I think if you could see the flag, the black and white is nicer.
She also says I’m color blind so what does it matter.
So two votes for color.
I almost didn’t leave a comment, because I was feeling lazy, but then I was all, “Damn. I did get roped into that contract.” So I vote B&W.
