Are an idiot and asking why black and white film is black and white or are you being a smartass and asking how these images are justified being captured in black and white OR BOTH

Because it's really tricky to get a color print out of a Tri-X negative.

Perhaps a film camera was used, with... black and white film?

I like this one.

I asked the same question once, on why people shoot with black and white (even if colored film is available). Most of the time, i get the "because colors can be distracting (especially in sreet photography)" answer.

shooting black-white isn't shooting color and desaturating. black and white shooting was there first, long before color ever got into the game. when color came around people kept shooting BW for many reasons:

- BW puts emphasis on composition and light. colors are distracting
- you can develop BW film yourself in all flavors
- BW is a lot more flexible then color film
- BW captures better dynamics then color films
- ...

black-white is a tradition, some feeling you can't do with color films. if you desaturate color film, you are missing out on a lot of things.

I got a nice DSLR but keep shooting my cheap '70s rangefinders with BW film I soup myself. my scanned negatives almost dont require any postprocessing, usually exposure is right. the right developer finishes the job.

shooting BW digitally also misses out on a lot of things. its possible to get nice results, but they require a lot of work (studio light, intensive PP or both) because otherwise it just looks bland. usually I can tell the difference between a digital BW photo and a film BW rightaway, irregardless of obvious giveaways like grain and clipped highlights.

you forgot to mention that shooting in color is a highly developed skill that has more to do with art than technique, sort of like painting. The vast majority of photographers are doing it wrong, or at least not doing it right. That's why it's only recently become an artistically accepted form of photography in, say, the last 30 or 40 years of the last 160 years of photography.

Seriously, you should have to get a license to shoot in color.
