VJ Day, Honolulu Hawaii, August 14, 1945 from Richard Sullivan on Vimeo.

65 Years Ago Richard's 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? Richard was able to find an outfit (mymovietransfer.com) to do a much superior scan of this footage to what he had previously posted, so he re-did this film and replaced the older version There are still images from this amazing day, in color, at discoveringhawaii.com.

That video was captivating. --I was truly mesmerized by it, wishing we could go back to such an innocent era.
