RICHARD H. POST, Photographer. Richard H. Post, Honolulu portrait artist, has 
followed the business of artistic photography since he was a boy of fourteen 
in his East Saginaw, Michigan, home and began taking pictures for the pleasure 
the work gave him.
  After mastering the craft, Mr. Post was employed by the Eastman Kodak Co., 
and for five years traveled throughout the United States for that corporation. 
Prior to that period and just succeeding it, he was engaged in photography in 
various mainland cities, having his own establishments in Chicago, Butte and 
Billings, Mont. Upon leaving the Eastman company in 1914, he moved to San 
Francisco and directed the Frazer Studio for a period. He then opened his own 
business, the Ferrand Studio, on the corner of Grant avenue and Geary street, 
San Francisco, and in 1918 came to Honolulu. In 1921 Mr. Post opened his own 
studio on Alakea street, where he specializes on high class portrait work. 
Many of the portraits in “The Story of Hawaii and Its Builders” were made by 
Mr. Post.
  Born in East Saginaw, Mich., on March 2, 1868, Mr. Post is the son of Daniel 
and Katherine (Babcock) Post. On his mother’s side he is descended from an old 
Scotch family, and through his father from an old Knickerbocker Dutch family 
in New York state, where the Posts settled and became early-day ship builders. 
In 1900 Mr. Post married Mary A. Elbisser of Knoxville, Tenn. He is a member 
of the Rotary club.
