About this title

Synopsis:

What better way to celebrate Hawai'i's
fiftieth year of statehood than with a
community photo album? And what
better place to find photos than among
the 250,000 images in the archives of the
Honolulu Star Bulletin? A quarter of a
million moments captured in time,
across five decades from these, more
than 700 were chosen to highlight Island
life in Hawai'i 50.
These are photographs of our politicians,
sharply dressed and usually smiling.
There are shots of the men and women
who captured our imaginations with their
showmanship or athleticism Duke
Kahanamoku, Don Ho, Gabby Pahinui,
Braddah Iz, and Rell Sunn. There is the
glamour of Hawai i s numerous beauty
pageants, along with the pomp and
circumstance of the Merrie Monarch
Festival. There are our favorite sports
teams and of folks outdoors, hiking,
swimming, surfing, paddling, or just
picnicking, enjoying the day with friends
and family. There are nostalgic pictures
of old stores and historic landmarks,
perhaps gone now but still there in
memory. There are photos of crowds
massed in protest, holding signs and
marching. There are photos of the
effects of Mother Nature s fury and of
her grandeur, and of course, many
photos of the sheer beauty of these
Islands as well. If a picture is worth a
thousand words, then the photographs
assembled in Hawai'i 50 are worth
volumes.
Interspersed with the photographs are
newspaper front pages and headlines to
anchor us in time, as well as editorial
cartoonist Corky Trinidad s cartoons that
poke fun at Island life and leaders. An
introduction and Photographer s
Choice section illuminate the art and
discipline of newspaper photography.
The result is a visual treasure chest,
filled with the riches and wonders of the
past fifty years, to be cherished and
shared, looked upon and reminisced
over. Every page holds some picture as
a reminder of why we are so very
fortunate to live in Hawai'i.
