People appreciate black-and-white photos for a variety of reasons. Some find black-and-white photography can evoke a sense of nostalgia or timelessness.
Others appreciate the way black-and-white images can emphasize texture, shape and contrast without the distraction of color.
Additionally, black-and-white photography can convey a sense of mood or emotion in a way color photography may not.
Ultimately, the appeal of black-and-white photos is subjective and can vary from person to person. Not everything is black and white, but sometimes it can be just what is needed.
