Colour ?

I guess I'm wondering why William Eggleston, Stephen Shore et al. bothered sometimes. Their ground breaking work in colour photography has largely been ignored by yours truly of late. Beautiful, arresting images from way down south in Memphis. So, I thought I'd better add in some of the colour images and resist the urge to allow the tones to have the stronger voice. That's after all where this particular image was meant to go.
Sometimes I just can't resist the power of the black and white. Judge for yourself and please let me know what you think.
