Description
The Merrie Monarch Festival is a week-long cultural festival that takes place annually in Hilo, Hawaii. It honors King David Kalākaua, who was called the "Merrie Monarch" for his patronage of the arts and is credited with restoring many Hawaiian cultural traditions during his reign, including the hula Many hālau hula (schools), including some from the U.S. mainland and some international performers, attend the festival each year to participate in exhibitions and competitions. The festival has received worldwide attention and is considered the most prestigious of all hula contests. Because the festival is so popular and tickets are so limited it is broadcast on a state-wide basis. This photo was actually taken from one of these broadcasts in HD. It was a transition shot that was moving from a wide angle to a close up when I snapped my shutter. I then manipulated that image and came up with what you see here. Faces within faces.
