Once upon a time, people were afraid to be photographed because they feared that it will trap their soul. And maybe there's a kernel of truth in that old, ignorant and irrational fear. Maybe photographs don't necessarily trap souls, but they merely replicate the essence of one's soul. And maybe it's more evident in monochromatic photos. And maybe that's why they have the power to melt our heart.
We are flipping through these black and white photographs and trying really hard to rub the sheepish grin off of our faces, but all in vain.
