The New, New Thing — er, black and white photography

Saw this on a magazine rack today. Ironic to think that B&W is now exotic.

You know, come to think of it, it does look better in monochrome! But even that doesn’t conceal the fact that it’s technically a very poor digital image. Not sure why — maybe because it was snatched with the Dimage Xt, which is wonderfully unobtrusive but needs careful handling to produce the best results.
