2nd Hawaii International Exhibition of Photography - 1954


The F-16 Cameralists are proud to present the Second International Exhibition of Photography.

The Exhibition was concluded in accordance with the recommended practices of the Photographic Society of America. It has been five years since the First Hawaii International Salon was held. Since 1949, with the exception of reproduced prints in magazines, the people of Hawaii have not been able to see the original prints by the foremost photographers of the world. We are indeed grateful to the many contributors and wish to thank them for making this Exhibition possible.

We also wish to thank the judges who generously gave their time and efforts in selecting the successful entries. Entries were received from 28 countries, and 266 exhibitors submitted 986 prints where 197 prints were finally elected – of which seven were designated as Honor Prints and awarded god medals of the famous Hawaiian Coat-of-Arms design. All seven are reproduced in this catalog for your enjoyment.

A great deal of time and effort went into this Exhibition, but we are happy to have brought this service to Hawaii. We wish to acknowledge with much appreciation the untiring efforts and generous operation of the staff of the Honolulu Academy of Arts and the many others who helped to make this project a great success.
