Still there are times when only a black-and-white photo can adequately communicate a photographer’s intent, but, there are subtleties to consider. The absence of color makes a black-and-white photo more reliant upon its shadows and highlights.

Garry, I do agree with you that shooting digitally does put a new twist on the concept of black-and-white shooting. The digital darkroom gives more control to photographers than they ever had before; beginning with the way the image is first shot -in color.
