I love these vintage Hawaiian beach images which have been hung in the staircase of the Moana Hotel in Hawaii. They remind me of the staircase Windsor Smith filled with framed black and white photos as below.

What a beautiful blog...
Had a couple of hours to blog hop this afternoon...Enjoyed reading yours....Hope you will stop by my Christmas blog...
Black and white pictures are so timeless. A wonderful way to make a stair way interesting.
Such lovely images, Anna. I was just flicking through India Hicks book, I love her photo walls too.
I love old photographs. They still breathe such honesty and one can feel the newness of the medium...
My son gave me a picture of two woman in their swim costumes in Berlin at the Wannsee ca. 1920, so lovely!
These above are fabulous!
I do like the second one a lot. :)
The large photo in the second picture is just amazing, I would love to own it!
Love your blog and your work and the black and white beach pictures :)

I'm the interior designer who worked on the Moana Surfrider when it was re-branded to a Westin a last year. I'm glad you appreciate the vintage photographs. The hotel first opened in 1901, so while trying to transform the hotel in the modern amenities of Westin, we really tried to maintain the timeless elegance and sense of place of this beautiful historic hotel. It was by far my favorite project to work on in my years of hospitality design.
these are so gorgeous. they capture such a moment in time.
Lovely... I actually worked on that shoot at Domino, every time I see anything from the magazine I get teary eyed. I miss it so much, thanks for bringing back the memories!

Are you familiar with the famous Hawaiian surfer, Duke Kahanamoku? From the breathe of your knowledge you probably do. You can find some beautiful black & white photos of him and other surfers on ebay. Check it out.
