"Xyza Bacani's life changed when she won a scholarship to study and practise photography in New York. Previously employed as a domestic worker in Hong Kong, she became interested in photography as a way of recording her fellow workers' lives - and the abuses they were subjected to. Ms Bacani tells her story to BBC 100 Women." A series of captivating photographs in Black & White http://www.bbc.com/news/world-34787072
I've also enjoyed good B&W photography. My serious interest in photography began with B&W and of course with hours in the darkroom. My interest in colour work came a bit later using Ferraniacolour transparancy film. Even longer in the darkroom. These photo's in the above post really appeal to me.
I built my first darkroom in 1972 when I was thirteen and I did my first wedding photography when I was 14 I used Ferrania film as well, do you remember the manual reversal stage where you had to take the film out of the development chamber and point it at a bright light that was the days before they had a chemical reversal, I had to look it up must have been the E3 process but I remember using E4 and of course later E6. And yes that lassie has done some great work there in B&W!
