Nice series. I think the black and while helps to single out the people in the photos, whereas various colors might distract one's eye. But that's a guess since I don't know what the color version would look like. Certainly the series (and the title) brings focus to the people.
 

Beautiful shots, at least one of which I recognised, to my surprise.

I don't recognize them, but for some reason I keep looking at them and thinking back to college. Hm.
 

Loved these photos.
