PORT ANGELES — Four photographic journeys will be chronicled beginning Tuesday at the Cooksey Gallery at Field Arts & Events Hall in Port Angeles.

“Voyages Monochromatique: A Life in Black and White” will feature about 80 images captured by Clallam County photographers Ernst-Ulrich Schafer and Thompson Holmes of Port Angeles and Richard Kohler and Phil Tauran of Sequim.

North Olympic Peninsula jazz singer Sarah Shea will provide entertainment at a public reception at Field Hall for the show’s debut beginning at 4:30 p.m. The gallery will be open from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. Tuesday.

“Voyages” will run for eight weeks. Gallery hours are from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday through Saturday.

The photos will range from landscapes and seascapes to wildlife and park scenes, with urban and floral photos in the mix.

The photographers have spent their lives intentionally grounded in black-and-white images.

“It’s very expressive,” Holmes, an organizer of the show, said of the medium. “We think if you take color out of the equation, you can say more spiritually.”

All four have done professional photography, and Holmes and Shafer have owned professional studios.

“Now, we’re all retired from that,” Holmes said. “We’re just art photographers now.”
