Subject: VJ Day, Honolulu 1945

Take a look at this video....absolutely fabulous .. Notice the cars and jeeps, youth, etc.,

This guy really captured a moment in history. (You can listen to Jimmy Durante singing in the background, too.)

Check out the color fidelity. It's not bad for 1945 - nothing will ever compare with Kodachrome film.

Would love to see each picture is slow motion. My dad was in Hawaii when that clip was made.
