I went back and looked at this photo very closely. I find the brightness of 
the sign consistant with the brightness of what I assume to be yellow flowers 
in the background. I also wouldn't be surprised to find out the sign board 
had some kind of whitener in it. 

I find there is a two part mind set with the digital crowd. The first part 
says that every outstanding, or funny, or ironic must have been done in 
photoshop. We never made a good photo with a camera and an enlarger. The 
other part is B&W is nothing but desaturated color and therefore is somekind 
of second cousin to color.
