I think there's a massive difference between a photograph that was (a) originally taken in black and white, and (b) a photo that was turned in black and white from color. The former always seem to display an element of originality while the latter ... umm... well doesn't. And i think I can tell the difference now.
so, what's the point? Well, I don't know -- except that I'm obsessed. lol
happy photographing.
