Description
Another shot of a sit down hula from Tues. shoot. Hula is not just dancing but also singing along and telling the story of the dance as they interpret it. Normally at the beginning of each dance the Kumu Hula (Hula Teacher) will tell the story about to be performed by the dancers, so the audience can get a feel for the dance. The songs are sung in the Hawaiian language, and are not easy to follow if you don't know the language.
I'm sad to say that my Hawaiian is quite pitiful, and I have to listen to the story told by the Kumu Hula to understand it also. I know, I should be beaten for not being able to speak or understand my own language...It's a good thing I have a friend like Sharky who has a good grasp of the Hawaiian language.
I also made this image in BW and couldn't really decide which one to post, but if there's any interest I can post it later.
Thanks for visiting and for all the kind comments left on my previous images in this series...Weekends here gangy, Good shooting! Aloha!

I just love every single upload of them, and as far as im concerned you can upload them for years to come and i will never grow bored. Beautiful work Dave!!!!! And if theres any consoulation...i dont understand swedes all to often either. At least not swedes that live south of Stockholm. Have a stunning weekend my friend! MAS4EVA!!!! #:O)
Beautiful portrait, extremely pretty lady ! Exellent live photography, Dave ! :~)
Wow, another lovely shot here, just such a pretty photo.
The DOF on this is great. She stands out great against the soft background. She is also soft and almost glowing.Beautiful, it looks like she was masked in postwork so that she and the background could be seperatly worked on, am I right? Seems like a faint line that starts at mid neck and extends up to the headband. Wonderful work V
