| Subject: | Color photos |  |
| Date: | Oct 3, 2005 |
| From: | Kurt Laughlin | |
"Another pet-peeve are B/W photos of modern equipment. Humans don't see in B/W, dogs do. So unless the book is about wars, equipment, and gear before color film, or the photo was actually taken in B/W, I see no reason a book should have B/W photos unless it's an actual text book rather than reference/photo book. To me, printing color photos B/W is a sign of "cheaping out."
I am currently finishing up a "field guide" on M5 light tanks that will published by a POD internet outfit. Although most of the photos were originally color, I am publishing them B&W because there really isn't anything noteworthy about the colors on a tank that was repainted with Sears "Weatherbeater" latex. On some, the detail is more apparent in B&W than in color.
Plus, B&W is cheaper . . .
