I find there to be something extraordinary to look at the great island of Manhattan at night from across the east river. I am guessing sailing under Manhattan Lights must be a thrill too in its own right.

Its my pleasure to introduce Sherry Galey as a new guest contributor to Monochromia. Some of you might already be familiar with her work on our sister group Life in Black & White on Facebook. I hope you will enjoy her work as much as I do.

For the last five years, this is how we spent our winters, on a 36-foot sailboat cruising between Florida and the Bahamas. It was bliss, but now that we’ve sold the boat, all I have are my memories…and my images. Now I will be spending all seasons in a small town just outside of Canada’s capital, Ottawa.

I’m delighted to make my debut as a guest contributor to this wonderful site and join a group of passionate and talented black and white photographers.

It was my father who first instilled in me a love of black and white photography way back in the sixties. He made the most beautiful images with his Rollieflex, many of which I still have and cherish. He never saw my black and whites, but I think he would like them.
