I chose photos of textures that don't have a lot of colours and compared them with the same images in black and white. It seems to me that the contrast of black and white highlights the textures more and pulls the photo towards abstraction. I wouldn't give up on colour photos either, especially those tiny, unexpected colour accents on them.
Some people use words, others use light to say what they feel.
