Honolulu Hawaii, August 14, 1945
The Greatest Generation seen celebrating V-J Day (Victory in Japan) 65 years ago, most of whom are almost all gone now. God Bless them. The film was taken along Kalakaua Avenue in Waikiki, capturing the spontaneous celebrations that broke out on hearing the first news of the Japanese surrender. Taken with Kodachrome 16mm film. This is what Waikiki used to look like, before all the high rises came later.
