"When we don't have information, 
we go to the simplest outlook, 
to black and white. 
But then we have to lie to ourselves. 
Black is never as black as you're painting it 
and white is never as white...."
~Patricia Sun

are the colors of photography. 
To me they symbolize the alternatives of hope and despair 
to which mankind is forever subjected...."

"I work in colour sometimes, but I guess the images I most connect to, historically speaking, are in black and white. 
I see more in black and white - I like the abstraction of it..."
