Edward Garran. 1945. Hawaii. From an Album of Military Scenes in Hawaii. 2.5" x 5". Vintage Gelatin Silver Print Garran was a US Forces Combat Photographer whose most intrigueing work was a record of Atomic Bomb testrs in the South Pacific. In particular, The tests at Bikini Atol. These Images are from a personal album and are loose from the rest.
For more information on Bikin Atol testing photographs, see "100 Suns" the pictorial record of the tests by Michael Light. A superb study of the molecular and ardently perilous recordings of Nuclear transmission and the beauty of the bomb.
These Hula Images may be from a souvenir book of images that were readily bought as they have numbered backs.
