This is really cool. A very different time and place, but the emotion is eternal.
LOST FILM - Honolulu, August 14, 1945
Thought you might like to see this - the greatest generation - that was then.


READ THE PIECE BELOW BEFORE YOU WATCH THE MOVIE..
Great cars and you can see the beach, no hotels !!!!!
The long-awaited, much-deserved joy is very apparent here!
JUST THINK HOW THIS YOUNG LADY FELT WHEN
SHE DISCOVERED THE VIDEO HER FATHER SHOT.
Great video of a Spontaneous Victory Parade in Honolulu in 1945. Take a look at this video-absolutely fabulous! Notice the cars and jeeps, youth. The guys in khaki or gray shirts and black ties are Navy officers or chiefs. The rest are Army or Marine. How young they all were to do what they did.
This guy really captured a moment in history!
(Listen to Jimmy Durante singing "I'll be Seeing You"
in the background, too)


This is a super video of a time past - we need to remember and be THANKFUL.
Check out the color fidelity. It's not bad for 1945.
Nothing will ever compare with Kodachrome film.

Very cool Joe. The quality is really terrific!

I'd really be curious if any video and photos taken today would survive in 60-70 years from now. I highly doubt it.

I'm sure when Bob comes online he'll let you know.

No sweat, today everything's digital; films, photos, archives, government, ...and should last eternally.
...Unless there is a complete shutdown! :D ...Or global warming planet's extinction; fires, deluges, tsunamis, ...

* 1945; the cars (American, Japanese), the women (American, Japanese, ...) look great back then.
- 2013; the cars (Italian, European), the women (French, Spanish, American, Canadian, ...) look great now.
