How do you explain this to your father?

I want it all...

I think that many people who shoot street (especially street) are just a bit nostalgic. Many great origin street photographers shot b&w and these pictures were sooooo beautiful!!! So people try to replicate that. And that's good!!!
 
For me black & white photography has its own magical look. I really love the strong contrast between a dark black and a light white. Can't describe it right but I really love it. Here is an example. Not a real street shot but I really like the b&w processing so much!!! Also the added fake grain gives the shot a very nice vintage look!

But here's also an opposite example what colours can do. Really love the punchy yellow!

I strongly believe that the rampant selphymania is only a fashion like bell-bottoms and batiked t-shirts. But it's a very funny one and it would be a pity if we don't preserve those precious moments of tingly embarrassment.
 
So join me in collecting selphy scenes to entertain our descendants.
