(SP)(check in #3) this photo has both Pidgin and English in it, but I want to use it as a Pidgin photo. This is a non-permanent advertisement found in a city bus in Honolulu, in the domain of transportation/advertising. The brightest, most eye catching section of the ad is in Pidgin (talk story). The Pidgin, when combined with the Hawaiian word and topic of the ad, was clearly made for Locals who understand Pidgin/Hawaiian and have an interest in Hawaiian cultural activities. English is in smaller letters with the instructions to access these stories, so that anyone, Local or non-local, will be able to access them. The topic of this poster is about working passionately to keep Hawaiian culture and story telling alive, hence the use of the Hawaiian word for triumph and the fiery red color.
