Kirk McElhearn takes on the task of helping us understand and appreciate the appeal of black and white (monochrome) photography. In the first part of our conversation, Kirk talks about being a monochrome photography enthusiast, shows off a special camera, and how a background in non-digital photography and developing helped him appreciate it. (Part 1)
