VJ Day
Everyone has seen the sailor kiss the woman in NYC,
but have you seen this? http://vimeo.com/5645171 This is fabulous restored amateur footage
from 1945 16mm.......... you're gonna love it.
65 Years Ago my Dad shot this film along Kalakaua Ave. 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
