Optimizing these images for B&W would require the use of various color filters for some of the scenes, and possibly none at all for others. How they were printed is another variable as well. I suspect Meyerowitz was deliberately shooting bad B&W imagery to justify his argument. B&W photography is not as straightforward as it might seem. Color is color, however, and will typically add another dimension that will enhance a scene in a way B&W can’t. There will be B&W images however, that when done right, will surpass anything you could do on the same scene in color. Actually, shooting good color requires even more work to make it right. Meyerowitz’s color shots here are nothing more than a straight click of the shutter.
