They are both strong media. Each picture must be evaluated on it's own because of lighting tone and desired level of contrast. Color offers more variables with allows an artist more avenue of expression and manipulation of the image. B&W exagerates forms and textures because you're breaking them down into two colors and a range of grays. Litho takes you to absolute black and absolute white. Photography is such an incredible media because it's about the momment. Any one can have that momment but the artist can make the momment into many types of experiences.
I love color and black and white. It depend what I am after in the end. One is no greater than the other.
