“City and Sea: A photobook about Newcastle, surfing and understanding where you are” is a surf photo-journey that explores the stories and layers that make up the surf breaks and places we inhabit. Researched and photographed over three years, City and Sea, is one persons attempt to better understand where he lives in Newcastle/Muluubinba, through the intersection of history and ocean photography.
“Surf and ocean photography can so frequently be based on adventuring abroad to new breaks and new experiences, but the stories and details that make up home breaks are just as enthralling if we look. The scale and scope of histories embedded in any place is too vast and deep for a project like this fully capture but this is my attempt at starting to learn.”
Over 90 pages, photographer Adam Wolfenden maps out the coastline, contrasting deep timelines with fractions of a second, and sharing histories and experiences that have helped shape Newcastle/Muluubinba into what it is today.
$10 from each book purchase will be donated to families in Gaza through the Newy Watermelon Collective.
