Newcastle Morning Photos are images taken by everyday Novocastrians of everyday Newcastle. They are the waking moments of this city, the morning routines of its inhabitants, surprise moments captured as the senses stretch awake.
It's different perspectives of well-known landmarks or otherwise inconsequential landscapes that are quintessentially part of our way of life. Individually they represent one person’s unique Newcastle moment. Together they encapsulate the diversity and idiosyncratic nature of living in this one-of-a-kind city.
The group was originally formed on Twitter under the hashtag #newcastlemorningphoto in August 2010 by 1233 ABC Newcastle's afternoon presenter Carol Duncan who encouraged listeners and Twitter followers to take a quick photo of their morning, no matter where in Newcastle and the Hunter Valley region they may be and share them with others via Twitter. A newcastlemorningphoto Flickr group was set up shortly thereafter by The Novocastrian Files editor Siobhan Curran as a way of permanently capturing many of the photos that were streaming through.
Join an ever-growing collaborative project that reveals Newcastle in the light of the locals. Flickr is a free online photo sharing site and anyone can sign up and submit photos. For instructions on how to set up an account and begin submitting your photos, go to www.thenovocastrianfiles.com/p/newcastle-morning-photo.html.
Simply take a photo, upload it to Flickr and add it to the newcastlemorningphoto group. It's really that simple.
