[Leica] Was Barcelona in color - now Tina's website

[gwpics at me.com (Gerry Walden)]

I missed the beginning of this discussion, but for me photojournalism is 
black and white (together with a lot of other genres) whilst colour is for 
scenics. For me, if it was/is good enough for Bresson, Doisneau and Salgado 
(plus so many others) it is good enough for me.
