Summary: Beautiful, stunning photographs
Comment: Kim Taylor Reece is truly a master of the photographic form. Not just in capturing hula in it's glory, but in photography itself. Beautiful work, perfectly framed, perfectly composed photos. Dance photography is extremely rough stuff - trying to capture a time-, movement-, and space-based art into a static, two-dimensional medium is almost folly, but Kim has an amazing ability to capture the movement and depth of the movement in a way that few photographers can - you'll truly feel that the subjects are, in fact, moving, and that's what dance is all about. I loved going to his gallery on Oahu when I lived there, to poke around at the rather expensive (but worth it) photographs, to speak with Rocky (the beautiful and extremely welcoming woman in so many of these photos), and Kim (who is also extremely nice and more than willing to talk about his artwork). For those who cannot afford a couple hundred dollars per photograph, this book is your best option. It's solidly put together, nice thick serious paper, excellent reproduction of the photos, and it is a wonderful collection of Kim's different styles. The book is beautiful, and the photographs are beautiful. Of course, to truly experience Kim's photos, you must visit his gallery, or at least find a way to see the images in full-size: 8"x10" and greater, but this book does justice to the photography.

Summary: Kahiko Imagery
Comment: As a hula dancer, I appreciated this book of hula kahiko imagery. The art of learning the hula is really underestimated by most people. KTR's photographs captures the graceful movements of the kahiko. Not only that, KTR captures the essence and electricity of the dancing, that one moment when one suddenly feels the hairs on one's neck start to rise. This marvelous work portrays the beauty of kahiko dancing and it is a great treasure. I highly recommend this book to those who appreciate and love the hula and to those who are interested in looking at some quality hula images.
