The world of photography has changed tremendously since Paul Chesley started his career some four decades ago and E.Y. Yanagi snapped rolls of black-and-white film to document the Waikiki of 1973.

The works of both photographers are exhibited at the Honolulu Museum of Art’s First Hawaiian Center in “Hawai‘i: Our World, Our Place,” running through Oct. 28. Along with their pieces are cellphone shots taken by James Cave, Elisa Chang and Ivan Wentland.

Chesley has produced photographic essays from across the globe for National Geographic since 1975. Yanagi used a state grant to shoot Waikiki during a time when high rises were replacing the last mom-and-pop businesses there. Meanwhile, works by Cave, Chang and Wentland offer elements of spontaneity that have arisen with the advent of the smart phone.

Collectively, the works relay moments in time while also conveying a sense of Hawaii’s timelessness.
