Why just black and white when color has so much more to offer???
Sure, there are shades of gray, but why not open yourself up to a world of posibilities, instead of restricting the world to just black and white and various shades of gray…

I’m still getting used to my new digital SLR, the Canon EOS 20d, which I bought on March 30, 2005.
I must say I am impressed, but it is a big change from the comfort zone of my “prosumer” digital cameras which suprisingly had a lot of benefits, feature wise and size wise.
I’ll be writing about my impressions of this hot new Digital SLR which I’ve already put through the paces on 2 pro gigs so far.
Do you have one? Have been contemplating getting one? Whatta think?
