Does anybody else think B&W photography is overused these days?

Totally agree with you. In fact, the onslaught of B&W images has become so enormous that when I see a gallery or set of B&W images, I often just skip it automatically, unless there's something immediately gripping about the images, which there rarely is.

Like someone else said, many people also just don't know how to do proper B&W images (I don't know how to do them properly either, but then maybe 1/1000th of my images makes me think it'd look better in B&W, so I'll probably never learn).

I love colour (when used sensibly)!
