Hi Daniel, I think making monochrome only images is an excellent way to go about things. Maybe it's because I was raised in the West Indies, but I love “colour". I don’t mind editing images, especially when I can do it uninterrupted, like in the morning before everyone else is awake, and I can listen to music on headphones while editing.
