Black and white

Some say that black is not a colour and white is. Some say that it's the opposite. For some reason for me neither of those two I can say it's an actual colour. When I see them it's like something is missing, is missing a colour. That doesn't mean that i don't like black or white. The combination of those too its amazing.
When I watch some black and white movies or any random pictures in the web it gets my attention and I find them really interesting. It's really different from what I am used to see now a days. The contrast of those two lets say colours is really powerful. When you turn a colourful picture into black and white you can see how the shades looking so pretty. Also you can realise how many shades are in a picture. Some times the absence of colour using just black and white is much more interesting.
