I actually really hate that style of writing.  In a nutshell, that whole thing just said: Monochrome is the true photographic-artistic medium, and i love it enough to spout pretensions verging on the philosophical.

He is right in a way - monochrome does exhibit things he mentioned and plays a large part in artistic photography based on it's unique qualities, but the guy needs to lower his register if he wants to reach out to the non-converted "commercial"/"social forefront" which he seems to be disparaging towards and the general article being a reply against...

"In every colour, there's the light.
In every stone sleeps a crystal.
Remember the Shaman, when he used to say:
Man is the dream of the Dolphin"
