      I didn't think it was too uncommon. B/W images where often "crisper" and also seemed more artsy. I also remember quite a few B/W TV sets around in the late 80s.

        About half of my family photos were taken in black and white film throughout the 90's. I think the film was marketed as having a "classic touch" or something to keep people buying it.

              Well, IDK. My family photos from the 80s are in colour (admittedly rather poor colour, but still), and a little looking up seems to suggest it fell out of fashion by that time. Maybe it was an aesthetic choice, yeah.

                  Black & White film was usually cheaper to buy and to process, it's also easier to process yourself at home so was still quite common even into the late 90s.

                  In my family color photos were a rarity until my dad got a digital camera because it was easier for him to process the b&w film in a home darkroom.

                        Yeah because frankly I was kind of feeling like this might've been one of those "make it black and white to make it look older than it actually is" type scenarios...

                          I wasn’t thinking that, the tv and the the outfits of the people in the chair sort of date it anyway. I was quoting McLuhan

                            We have a family album with a bunch of photos from my brother's toddlerhood in ~'83, mostly black and white. Those cameras were still around for a while (not in South Africa, though). Maybe family heirloom, maybe it was just cheaper, or some hobby stuff.

                              B/W film was still cheaper through the 80s and so color photography was very much optional.
