I found a few photos of the Kamehameha Day parade in 1957 among a bog of negatives carefully filed away by my mother years ago. The negatives are sorted and stored in old, now-yellowed, paper envelopes, certainly far from great treatment. But I was able to get reasonably good scans from this batch.
The vantage point was across from Kawaiahao Church at the corner of King and Punchbowl. The first photo, looking Diamond Head along King Street, reminds us how downtown Honolulu looked two years before statehood.
Click on the photo for several more.
Lovely. How were you able to develop these negatives? Do you have a dark room?
gigi, you use a flatbed scanner with negative scanning attachments; Frames that hold the negs, and a lid that projects light thru the slides or negs while the bed scans the image. Instant digital photography.
Gigi, you use a flatbed scanner set up to scan negs or slides. The negative film was already developed, just needed to be scanned, inverted (to positive image) then posted here… .
Ian, you obviously have photography in your genes both you Mother and Father were marvelous image collectors of their time…
Mahalo, guys. I guess I live in the cave age, not knowing anything about negative scanning.
I live in a cave age too. don’t know how to post without repeating myself online, repeating myself online.
