65 Years Ago his Dad shot this film along Kalakaua Avenue in Waikiki capturing spontaneous celebrations that broke out upon first hearing news of the Japanese surrender. Kodachrome 16mm film: God Bless Kodachrome, right? I was able to find an outfit (mymovietransfer.com) to do a much superior scan of this footage to what I had previously posted, so I re-did this film and replaced the older version. There are more still images from this amazing day, in color, at discoveringhawaii.com.   |  View or Add Comments (0 Comments)   |   Receive updates ( subscribers)  |   Unsubscribe
