Just to clarify, as I've had some questions:
You don't have to have an old black and white photo.. converting to B/W is pretty simple with whatever photo program you have.

Cool. I was just gonna ask if it was ok to convert to black and white.

Misfit is just glorious, but I was really hoping that your entry would be Tangent. You know, an orange cat, in black and white, submitted by orange&white .

Black and white is more atmospheric but why? Is it a generational thing where us older folk remember B/W films and TV and were enthralled as kids?
One example for me is the old B/W Scrooge film with Alastair Sim. It's still the best Scrooge film for me. They did colourise it later but that lost some of the magic methinks.

Here's a Millennial who adores black and white film. My feelings are the same as Roger Ebert's-if you refuse to watch a movie because it's not in color, you have to ask yourself why you like movies to begin with.

I still have albums with black and white photos of my childhood and adolescence and even of my children's childhood. I cherish them.

I've no idea why it's appealing, but it surely is. I still look at my first kitty's photo on her Coming Home Day almost every day; Busy: 14 June, 1958:

NOT AN ENTRY.
