Description
AlooooooooHa once again!
Another beauty from the Merrie Monarch Festival. One benefit I have enjoyed while shooting this series is that all the girls were dressed accordingly, they didn't mind having their pic's taken, and I didn't have to pay any of them to model. Dang what more could you ask for?
And believe me I was quite a pest for these few days, right in their faces...but hey, the moment in time is so brief, you snooze you lose. I have found that people don't really mind if you stand in their way, if you act like you know what your doing and are not rude. But get the shot and move, or they will give you an earful.
I have a few more to post in this series and I hope your not ready to give me an earfull...I must have shot 500+ images so if you indulge me a little more I promise I won't make it too painful.
Thanks for you kind comments and it looks like the guys win out here...More Women! Dogs all of ya, just dogs...Woof Woof! Aloha!

Well Dave, you dog you, I have to say I love the Wahine photos too. But, this is the first time I have ever seen them wearing white around their eyes. Is this normal for Hula or something special just for the competition???? Aloha
I have very much enjoyed your series and would love to see many more photos of the Hawaiian people (MEN and women). :D
LOL at the dawwwwwgs.You are doing such a wonderful job,Dave.All of these women are beautiful,and you can see,especially in today's upload,the exotic blend of cultures that is Hawaii.Every shot so far has been a treasure.I am thoroughly enjoying this series.I only wish I was there in person,lol.Thanks for bringing this to us.-M :^)
nice foto, whats about the white next to the eyes is this suposed to make the eyes look bigger saw it on your other pics too? nothing wrong with showing more woman just show theire bodys too as this is about dancing right? :P
What a delightfully enlightening series of portraits! Your technique brings out the natural beauty so often missed by those who have not learned to look until you see. Thank you!
I know how it is to take a lot of photos at one time. And you go thought them thinking you got the best ones out then you look a few days later and say " How did I miss these lol" Now you posting them and you still shooting and wish to post what you just shot but you feel like you have to post the first photos first....super looking
I guess I've been curious about the white makeup all along too?? and I see others noticed it as well. Just wonder if there's a significance?? Otherwise this is another amazing portrait to add to this beautiful series!!!!! I'm sure you have one more male in there somewhere eh????? brilliant series Dave!!!!!!! I'm ducking the tomatos now LOL!!!!!!

First off---I'm not bored with these photos. A wonderful series of an event many of us will never experience. She is lovely. I like her earrings and necklace too.
Ha ha, keep 'em coming the next 1.5 years LOL! Fantastic work, great you avoided the earful! ;)
squawk...I noticed in all the shots that the women have put white makeup around their eyes. Is this a tradition involved with the dance or just this year's theme?...squawk
Wow, those are some striking eyes! Beautiful portrait photography Dave! Aloha my friend!
