I would like to present to you my latest project:A Ride Down ChinatownThe original footage was recorded in 1906 from a moving electric street car by Robert Bonine working for Thomas Edison. It is the oldest motion picture footage of downtown Honolulu ever recorded, and I have restored it to 4K, 60FPS, stabilized, with color and stereo sound (use headphones!). The entire process took over 500 hours. You can watch the film ad-free on my new websitecolor808.com

Via the Office of Hawaiian Affairs: "Many Native Hawaiians are being forced to sell their ‘ina Kpuna (ancestral lands) due to outrageous property taxes that c...ontinue to increase due to real estate speculation and resort development. As the land value around us increases, so do our property taxes.' - Keiki Chang Kawaiaea Families like the Chang-Luuwai-Kukahikos have had to devise unique strategies just to raise enough money to pay those taxes, and are in an endless battle with the county tax assessor whose objective is to get as much money out of the land as possible. In some cases, kpuna are buried on their lands. Maui Council Member Keani Rawlins-Fernandez, OHA and Native Hawaiian community advocates are working together to draft legislation to help ease the tax burden for families that are at risk of losing their generational lands.
