Black and White - does it still have a place in today's world?

In a world of visual bombardment is there a place for black and white photography?  Photography started its life in black and white and it is fair to say that as humans it does not exist in the world around us. The human eye sees colour every day yet we accept black and white photographs as normal. I believe that black and white gives us a purer form of creativity by removing the colour and leaving the form with its tonal values to express the beauty in everyday subjects. PB
