Commenter A Bear recently asked why I show a preference for black and white processing. Here's a photo that nicely illustrates one aesthetic consideration. Color version below the fold: In this case, the color of her hair and the dog could be eye catching against the simple dark colors of her jacket, jeans and the pavement around the dog.

Who's the denialist?
I'm a bit late posting this, but here's an excerpt from the Emily Yoffe post that triggered an internet ruckus: Let’s be totally clear: Perpetrators are the ones responsible for committing their crimes, and they should be brought to justice. But we are failing to let women know that when they render themselves defenseless, terrible things can be done to them. Young women are getting a distorted message that their right to match men drink for drink is a feminist... (Source: Dr. X's Free Associations)
