Jennifer L. Roberts (*) writes On Patience (*):

just because you have looked at something doesn’t mean that you have seen it. Just because something is available instantly to vision (*) does not mean that it is available instantly to consciousness. Or, in slightly more general terms: access is not synonymous with learning. What turns access into learning is time and strategic patience (*).

John MacLean (*) On Captions (*):

The titles nullify the viewer’s question: "What is it?" When that question is answered, the next question might be: "Why is it?"

On Black and White - Daido Moriyama

Hazelhurst Passageway - Monochrome - Gymea (Sat 08 Dec 2012)
Daido Moriyama (*) on Black and White:

Monochrome has stronger elements of abstraction or symbolism.

There is perhaps an element of taking you to another place.

Thats just the way I respond to things.

Black and white has that physical effect on me.

On Colour, he explains:

Colour is something more vulgar because the colour is making the decisions, it feels vulgar, and that seems to me to be the difference.

Hazelhurst Passageway - Colour - Gymea (Sat 08 Dec 2012)
Not exactly sure what he means by vulgar, but I think the above photos might help understand what he is trying to say, particularly about Black and White / Monochrome. I think colour creates different relationships in the photos where it is used effectively.

Intersection - Broadway / New York City (Sun 18 Aug 2011)
Was recently looking through all my New York 2011 photos and this one surprised and jumped out at me. I like the colours and the reflections off the wet road surface. Always nice to find a sleeper, in my eyes anyway, amongst the archives.

On Colour - Mental Preparation - Brad McGee / Cycling Tips (Thu 22 Nov 2012)

Red and Blue - Erskineville Road / Erskineville (Fri 23 Nov 2012)
Brad McGee (*) talks (*) about the depth and extent of his mental preparation:

If I needed firing up on the way to the start line, I’d look for cues like red colours, if I felt I needed calming down I’d look for blue…
