I don't think the picture would look as cool if it was colorized. It's actually pretty washed out, as I used a polycontrast filter to make it look better. (Heh, this was probably before Photoshop 1.0 was released.) Otherwise, the background would just be a dark gray.

It was my first photographic assignment - shoot a roll of B&W film. The class was learning how to develop pictures. I wasn't expecting to get such a dramatic picture. I was actually on the way to a neighborhood video store. I was looking for a good game to rent. While walking down the block, I saw an orange glow in the distance. I ran out there to check it out. I had my camera with me, so I snapped off a few shots.

I like it in Black & White
