Colour is a distraction. Or rather: colour is the loudest signal in any photograph, and once you commit to it you stop looking at composition, light, gesture. B&W strips all of that out and leaves the picture's actual structure on the contact sheet.
I shoot Tri-X 400 in a 1980s Olympus OM-1, develop in Rodinal at home, scan on a 1990s Epson. The whole pipeline is older than I am. The friction is the point — every frame costs a small amount of money and a chunk of time, so I think harder before I press the shutter.
