The Arrival -- Honolulu6121 katseluaMy parents met at Leyland Powers, a school of theater and broadcast in Boston (long gone, I'd guess -- Google comes up with nothing). They drove across country and then took a plane (shown) to meet my maternal grandparents in Hawaii. On the way, they got married in Nevada. This photo shows Birdie (my aunt), my father, mother, and grandmoter at Honolulu Airport, summer 1948. I can imagine it was an interesting arrival.

Christmas at 1080 Makaiwa Street615 katseluaThis looks like one of those self-timer photographs, were Baba set the camera and then ran in (almost) into the frame. Baba (on his knees), me, my mother, Nana, Bappy, Neil Moore, and my aunt Birdie. Photographed at 1080 Makaiwa Street, circa 1956.

The Comfort Station5539 katseluaThe location and date of this photograph are unknown, but I'm guessing it's not Hawaii. My grandfather, Baba, with my aunt Birdie outside the "comfort station."

Birdie, Nana, and My Mother704 katseluaOn the beach at Kaneohe. No signs of kids in the photo, so I would say this is 1948. The lush Kodachrome look to this photograph reminds me of 1950's Hawaii.

Birdie and a Cocker Spaniel513 katseluaTaken at 140 Dowsett Avenue (I recognise the green tile). The inevitable dog. And a wonderful retro television set.

Family Gathering at 1080 Makaiwa Street590 katseluaNana, Birdie, my father, Mum (Lily Wyser Wilkinson), my mother and young Shauna. I would guess this is 1956 or so, photographed in the living room at 1080 Makaiwa Street in Kahala.

Ash Looks At A Bird210 katseluaWhen I put my camera up to take a photo of Ash, she fell to the ground and started to roll and rub on her back. It was a warm Sunday morning, 4 December 2005, and she was feelin' good. Or watching the bird directly over her head.
