The Hunter has lost a man whose camera captured scenes of life in the community, over seven decades.
Joe Laughton, seen here celebrating his 100th birthday, started out screening home-made newsreels in his backyard.
His movies of home and harbour life, dances at the Palais and beach days, are a time capsule of Newcastle from the 1940s onwards.
Mr Laughton was 102.
