April 2010

  Aloha!


April is Merrie Monarch time, and I got to attend two nights of spectacular hula. Some of the best pictures, like the classic hula shot below, are in the kalani galleries.

hula kahiko

 

But there are lots of photos I like that aren't your standard glossy hula shot. This year I separated them here into pictures of men (kane) and women (wahine). And there is one gallery of sixteen pictures from one men's hula kahiko performance. They tell a story as a whole, but each picture tells its own story, as well...
