While there, the symptoms of his disease seemed to temporarily recede amid his joy in Waikiki's beauty and resources, and Karel promised to capture his happiness in a new series of photographs. This highly personal book, which continued over the next four years, is dedicated to his memory. Karel's vision of "paradise" is kaleidoscopic and vivid, and her rendering of Waikiki is often ambiguous and complex. The people she pictures are relaxed, reveling in the sensuous pleasures of a sun-drenched destination. Yet while depicting a manufactured dreamscape that oscillates between real and imaginary worlds, these photographs testify to the intensity of our desire to experience our dreams--and equally to escape unpleasant realities. --Amazon.com 650 0 $a Photography, Artistic. 651 0 $a Waikiki (Honolulu, Hawaii) $x Pictorial works. 650 7 $a Photography, Artistic. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01061964 651 7 $a Hawaii $z Waikiki. $z Waikiki. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01314289 655 7 $a Pictorial works. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423874 941 $a 2 952 $l USUX851 $d 20220706012931.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191214023603.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=EECA2222D4E311E3810EC6B1DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
