The photos are all black and white until 1984, when they're all suddenly in color. Was there any particular advancement in color photography in 1984?

- mc32 9y agoNot really. Most traditional photographers either tried or went color in the '60s. Some traditionalists insisted that real, serious photography was only done in B&W. This sentiment carries on to this day with film photogs. Some continue to think B&W is serious and color is for pop/sugary stuff/commercial. Color was a bit more expensive but I don't think that was the main driver. On the other hand, if the photo was for mass circulation/publishing, printing in color was more expensive --but the photography itself not so much.
