I have always been inspired by the Group f.64 and Ansel Adams. They created "magic" in black and white while setting an extremely high bar with their photography. I only wish I could be a fraction as good as they were. Still, I find black and white a nice balance to color photography and some images just seem to work better in that format. The one camera I would love to add to my hobby is a medium format digital for landscapes. I would love to see what that would do with black and white (color also) images. I can tell I am getting"old" because I would rather have a medium format digital camera than a sports car. Unfortunately both though are above my pay grade.
