After all this colour here is a bit of B/W for you.

What a nice guy! Yeah, but the coloured were brilliant too.

And the book model is very amused.

And.... under this look... I couldn't say a single word...

Unbelievable that somebody, just holding a book, can look "THAT" good!!!

Oh god... want to console him... *sigh*

B/W is always a good choice, but I have to admit that for me only 'real' B/W works... experimenting with colours is interesting, but it just doesn't quite work for me. It sort of disturbs the composition of the picture as a whole. Sorry, can't explain it any better, but those colours just distract me.
So, Susi, give us more!

And apart form that: He could stand in my living room, holding my books like that anytime!

Of course it no original B/W but some scenes look really well in monochrome. And of course he has this timeless face that looks good in such a classic style. (Btw, I could need a nice bookholder over here.)
So here is one from "Hawking" of which I am a bit proud.

Haven't seen "Hawking" yet, but in general it's quite fascinating how the whole mood changes when you take away the colours. It's a bit like with old b/w movies... to me it always feels as if they're taking place in a completely different world.

Rightfully so, what a lovely pic!

Oh, you should watch it. One of Benedict's most brilliant performances IMO.

Of course, and they do! It's the good old black-and-white-time! :-P

Yes, when women put grey lipstick on.

Not quite B/W, but still... very, very lovely...

SusiGo · December 12, 2013 12:21 pm

Thud.

Is this going to be a thing now. Will fans rush up to Benedict and say "please hold my book"!

I could offer quite a lot books to be held.

Have to confess I'm officially addicted.

Sherlock... I could be wrong, but I think someone's watching you...

besleybean · December 12, 2013 5:11 pm

The same one who always watches him.
