Architectural abstract from a rooftop in Hogsmeade in the Wizarding World of Harry Potter attraction at Universal Studios in Orlando, Florida. On this family trip, I finally got around to shooting RAW files on my Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra, my first attempt at processing raw files from my phone in Lightroom. Doesn’t match the quality of my Nikon Z8, but fits nicely in my pocket on a 3D coaster ride!

I’m sure we all understand this one. Taken in St Augustine, Florida
Opened in 1941, the Main St. Bridge crosses the St. Johns River in Jacksonville, Florida. It was renamed in 1957 after former Mayor John T. Alsop and remains a feature of the Jacksonville skyline. The center span lifts to allow large boats to pass under. I shot this at 170mm to achieve a compressed architectural abstract feel. For the best viewing experience, click to view a high-resolution version.

The Florida, Fuller Warren Shared Use Path runs next to the I-95 southbound side of the Fuller Warren Bridge over the St. Johns River in Jacksonville, Florida. Below the bridge on the north bank of the river is the wonderful Riverside Arts Market.

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.
