Why are black and white pictures so amazing?

But that picture, I've been looking and trying to articulate my response to it. Of course, he's a gorgeous man and it is an excellent picture, but it isn't the standard pretty shot, is it?

The words that came to mind first were intense, sad, vulnerable, and tired. Exposed. Almost desperate. And that was when it hit me, that picture is like a shot of a prisoner, stripped down, staring into the camera and trying convey a connection to whoever it will be sent to. It's like a proof of life and at the same time a display of power.
