Some years ago I crossed paths with Jerry Gay, a guy whose work I admired on the pages of the Seattle Times. He was a news photographer, who one day claimed a Pulitzer prize for a photograph he took of some weary fire fighters in the 1970s. (above)
He shot black & white then, and still prefers to shoot that way today. He has resided in the Blaine area the past several years.

His online portfolio is pretty cool, with a number of photo essays I invite to look over. The one on signs is a favorite. Jerry Gay photo essays

I find a lot of photographers tend to use black and white to capture more engaging scenes. Color tends to diminish the emotional impact of a piece, whereas black and white enhances it.
Also related to design, I want to compliment you on your use of the "Juice" font in your frame header. I've always liked the playful quality of the typeface.
Not related to design, thanks for sharing the story of Laura Story (and Martin). Wow. Awesome testimony. Gives even more weight to an already amazing song.
