I Like Colors

I like colors a lot. In my 4 blogs I rarely post black and white photos, the main reason being I like colors. I like black and white photos too, but not as much as colored ones. My philosophy in photography (yikes!) is I like to show what my lens captured is the image my eyes saw. My eyes always see colored images.

How can I convert these images to black and white when the colors are so vibrant, so alive, so expressive?
