Yes, you might say that without color, it exposes an inner spirit not normally visible when all the colors are visible. Kind of like how the ghost hunters use a special film to capture the spirits or ghosts.

@NMgal your description almost sounds like seeing a ghost.

I’m new to Mastodon and I would like to start a conversation. What feeling or mood does a quality black and with photograph trigger in you?

For myself, a quality B&W photo triggers a similar feeling when I get a feeling of deja vu. I get a feeling like I have previously experienced what the photo is portraying.

If you would like to participate, please share your thoughts and feelings.

Provide a network of comfortable busses. NOT HIGH CAPACITY Greyhound type busses, but comfortable busses like JetBus, or “cama” three seat across busses used in South America.

Repurpose portions of urban shopping malls to be bus terminals.

Apply Amazon, FedEx, UPS, logistic technology to effectively transport people in comfort

Use GoogleMap data, to establish how people are currently traveling on a day to day basis and apply it to provide effective public trans.

Portugal's infrastructure minister gets it:

“If we simply replace all combustion cars with electric cars, we will end up with the same kind of congestion, the same huge amount of lost time in traffic, the same unsustainable levels of road accidents, and the same struggle for public space."

“The car overwhelmed city life and it is something that must change.”

Electric vehicle shift alone will not solve urban transport woes, says Portuguese minister

A shift to collective transport is needed to reverse the dominance of cars in cities and reach our decarbonisa
