Kim Taylor Reece - 8" x 8" - 92 pages - black & white photos - Softcover
Kim Taylor Reece captures the power and essence of the ancient style Hawaiian Hula (Kahiko) in this collection of beautiful sepia-toned images that have the look of early 19th century uncensored photographs. The male and female dancers are caught in exciting portrayals of the tropical settings, costumes, poses, expressions, and sensuality of the historic hula. The traditional hula dancers wear authentic costumes of grass, ti leaf or cloth pa'u skirts without tops, and are adorned by lush flower lei and headpieces.
