” A black-and-white photograph is an abstraction rather than a reproduction of subject matter. In its monochromatic state, it tends to emphasize form and tone at the expense of the total expression possible by color photography. Thus, if the purpose of the photograph is to illustrate the design statement of another artist, black and white becomes a highly communicative and honest way of doing so. Since this is frequently the purpose of an architectural photograph, the choice of black and white as a medium is dictated by its excellence in stressing line and mass, rather than by matters of economy. — Julius Shulman, 1992 “
