The site is not as easily navigated as i would like, but the list of contributors and planned essays is impressive. keep an eye on it.

Wowza!
The Gursky stuff is really amazing.  And it's about time "Back and White" became the new color!

thanks for the link.

I read a similiar article via aperture or was it IPC? Can't recall.
Seems the peeps in the know are calling for a fine art monochrome revolution.
Matter of fact, the one thing I forgot to include in my Photo LA round up in the articles section was that there was an impressive showing of B&W at Photo LA this year--Contemporary and vintage.
Last year, there wasn't nearly as much B&W.
Seemed like it was 90-95% color last year, whereas this year it was possibly 40% B&W.

Much like most of you, I couldn't be happier about the resurgence of B&W in the eyes of the art world.
