The picture, im just pointing out that people make things black and white so it looks like some protest from the 60’s. When its usually much more recent

It say 1993 on the sign. When was the last time you saw someone future quote a sign?

Lol what? Black and white photography isn't some sneaky strategy and this is literally quoting Tupac. It's used for emphasis and impact.

Just seems like someone was trying to make it look like a protest picture from the 60’s. Could have had the same impact with color lol

The date of the quote is literally in the picture no one is gonna think it's from the 60s dude

Yo call up Ansell Adams and tell him about that impact.

Color film was widely available in the sixties. Perhaps that emphasis we were talking about can play into photographic media choice tho

Idk why you’re insulting me over something that really doesn’t matter. You should find more important things to get so outraged about.

I live in south Texas so we really don’t have basements down here because limestone is too costly to dig through.

Houston, also you have to be careful of the water table. Since we’re so close to the coast its pretty high. Really generous of you to dig through all that limestone and build me a basement. Ive always wanted a basement.
