EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, David Kaapua, also known as Kaapuawaokamehameha, is seen living in his solitary one-man village nestled amidst the lush greenery of Hawaii, USA. The image, captured in 1935, offers a glimpse into the life of this enigmatic figure who chose to live away from the modern world. Born in the late 1800s, Kaapua was a descendant of the Hawaiian royalty, with his lineage tracing back to King Kamehameha I. However, he renounced his royal title and opted for a simple life, far removed from the trappings of wealth and power. The photograph captures Kaapua in front of his humble hut, surrounded by his meager possessions. A surfboard leans against the wall, a testament to his love for the ocean. In his hand, he holds a spear, a tool that would have been essential for his survival. The serene expression on his face speaks volumes about his contentment with his solitary existence. The 1930s were a time of significant change in Hawaii, with the US government taking over the islands. Kaapua's decision to live off the grid was a defiant act of resistance against the encroaching modernity. His story is a reminder of the rich cultural heritage of Hawaii and the enduring spirit of its people. This photograph, taken in 1935, offers a rare glimpse into the life of a man who chose to live in solitude, away from the hustle and bustle of the outside world. It is a poignant reminder of a bygone era and the simple pleasures of a life lived close to nature.
