Star's Haven

Image Description: A black and white photograph of two marchers on a street, lined with observers. One carries a sign that reads, “A gay landlord is still a landlord,” interspersed with stars. End ID.

this photo is in black and white because it was taken in black and white on black and white film. a color version does not exist. black and white film still exists to this day. hope this helps.

Also one answer for why so many famous photos are black and white is because staff shooters for a lot of newspapers, and freelancers who sold most of their work to newspapers, often shot B+W pretty much up to the digital turnover, both for higher fidelity of details in the first place, faster processing (because they could develop at home or in the paper's onsite labs), and because they expected to be printing in black and white eventually anyway.

Also, while today we tend to associate black and white photography with things that happened a long time ago because color photography has been around for so long, it used to be more associated with things to be taken seriously/serious journalism.

every time i feel like i haven’t done enough things to be proud of myself during the day there’s the voice of louise glück that emerges softly in my ears and says if you missed a day there’s always the next and if you missed a year it didn’t matter the hills weren’t going anywhere the thyme and rosemary kept coming back.. and i feel like life is beautiful and kind to me again

Martyr Characters. Characters whos heads are stuffed sick with the notion that they are the final solution, the sacrificial lamb, the one who must die to save everyone, restore balance to the universe. Characters who give and give and give of themselves because it's the only way they'll ever be worth anything, the only thing they'll ever be good for, the only way they'll be remembered. Characters who always push others out of the way, always take the hardest punch and the sharpest stab, always throwing themself wherever they know that their loved ones wont be harmed, always secretly hoping that this time will be the time they die, nobley protecting someone they care for, for then their death would mean heroic sacrifice.
