Actually probably am being unreasonable, but I'm irritated out of all proportion that photographs of the "The Great Storm" are being shown in b&w. At first I just thought it was slightly odd, but then I realised that all the news websites seemed to be doing it. Even the tv program last night showed photographs taken at the time in b&w.
I know it happened a generation ago, but we did have colour photography then, so why not show it in colour. [grr] Does everyone under 20 yrs old think that colour photography is recent? Or did they do it to emphasise that it's historical?
Do I actually have a problem with b&w photographs, or am I really angry that it makes me feel old that I was an adult during an historical event that some of my work colleagues are too young to remember.
