We used that photo on the cover of Ohana magazine this past year. I contacted the owner of the image, and he sent me the 'hi-re' version of the photo as well as his clearance for use. It was taken by his grandmother in 1968. He does not know much else about it. There were no other Tiki resort images from that particular vacation, in his possession. It would seem his grandmother was impressed by the streetside view, and snapped a quick shot! The digital image has been achieved through a scan of his original 35mm slide. As a result the image is not stellar in Hi-resolution standards. You will notice our recently celebrated and FOM/Ohana named entrance guard "I'ke" can be seen standing proudly to the left of the smaller entrance! That entrance has obviously been reconstructed and I'ke has moved about 50 feet further down the plot as there is now a lengthy hall between the Paradise lounge entrance and the new guest registration lobby!
