Diary of a Provincetown Bench is a black-and-white photography book by longtime Provincetown resident Elizabeth Brooke, capturing the fleeting moments of strangers who pause to rest on the benches at the Bas Relief Park, visitors mid-pause at the edge of the continent, unseen and unrecorded by history. It is an intimate ode to the transient, a witness's meditation on place, time, and the endless procession of humanity that passes through one of America's most storied and eccentric towns.

Join Elizabeth G Brooke for a day in the life of two fishermen. This book documents their work from the pre-dawn departure through sunset's return to Provincetown Harbor - the dredge launching, the catch hauling, the skilled shucking at sea, and the ever-present gulls riding the wake. It's a glimpse into a working life and tradition that has sustained Cape Cod families for generations.

“What is it about the waters that captures the hearts and minds of so many? For me, it instilled a sense of union with waters carrying us to a multitude of harbors, the bond of belonging to a crew, being happiest outdoors, living on board a vessel for months at a time, and deriving daily substance from the waters around us.”
