B&W Photos in the Media

“COLORFUL, OLD SCHOOL” EAST VILLAGE, IN B&W

Things were different back in the 1980s. The New York Times show us just how different, via bold B&W from Q. Sakamaki.

Great B&W photography pops up in the media all the time, both in ads and in editorial work. Here you’ll find links to the the best B&W we see out there.


            We’ve got the wild and wooly East Village from the 1980s, and  the very odd coupling of Billy Joel, from The New York Times, and Buckminster Fuller (by the B&W master Elliot Erwitt) from The New Yorker. And if you see great B&W in the media somewwhere, let us know! (rudolph2528@gmail.com)
