You know I was thinking. You are color blind and I think most of your black and white images speak louder than your color ones. So do you think that being color bind has allowed you to understand the grey tones a lot better than people that can see color? Just my random thought for the day.
You know... a few weeks ago I probably would have laughed at this question but I recently read a book about light and color that might actually support what you just said.
Now I'm not claiming that it is true that, "being color blind has allowed you (me) to understand the grey tones a lot better," than non colorblinders, but there may actually be a little something to that according to the book.
"To the eye, certain colors advance, others recede. "
If a color blind person can not distinguish as well between the advancement of color or the receding of it, it may be possible that tone and shape are recognized more quickly.
Do I think it gives color blind people an advantage? No. One must learn how to "see" be he color blind as a dog or blessed with the vision of a jet pilot.
I also think to say that my black and white images speak louder than my color images is to assume that you, as the viewer, are not projecting your own tastes.
that is great and all but what about the guy who sees color alot. Like most than others. Like... A LOT of color. ALL the time? Or the guy who is kinda color blind, sees a muddled gray.
But to the question. Color is the projection of light in depth. Reflected then absorbed. To say Pegg, you are colorblind so you understand the grey tone better would be somewhat of a misnomer... in fact the gray you see is rather, an abstract or diluted gray. Rather than seeing light at 400-700 (light is then absorbed to see color) nano meters per second, you see it much less. HOWEVER that pertains only to the absorption in which your eye perceives it. What I would say, Austin, and Pegg is that what it has given you, is an extreme attention to detail in regards to light. Your eye is working harder to recognize or compensate your lack of absorption there for is extra keen in recovering light seen quicker. I can do the math for you...
by the way. Great shot. Sorry I have been gone so long. Forgive me?

I like the question.
