Cooperating with, and probably subsidized by, the islands' local railroad company and their promotional committee, Bonine photographed a series of short films under the rubric Scenes and Incidents, Hawaiian Islands. Subjects included Hawaiians Arriving to Attend a "Luau" or Native Feast; Shearing Sheep, Humunla Ranch, Hawaii; and Panoramic View of Waikiki Beach, Honolulu. His Hawaiian travelogue showed the picturesque quality of this overseas territory, acquired at the beginning of the Spanish-American War. The photographer himself became an exhibitor, presenting his own program at several venues, including the Orange Camera Club in May 1907.
