Scenes from the Old West - Monument Valley in Black & White

My favorite things to photograph is country scenery in black in white. When i was younger i wanted to go into advertising and a class i took all i did was black and white photographs. And everything was a snapshot I would do pics of random people in parks in a car. I loved taking pictures in graveyards and abandon houses sometimes in color things are more complex. But in black in white, to me anyways you see a sense of naked truth to the shot.
Happy moments were the most fun because black and white seemed to really show why to me there was a elegance to it everything i took a picture of made me have a sense of pride. Where as color made me re-think why didn't i take that shot from a different angle.
Sometimes things with the most color and most energy take the best black and white photos.
