May 1 | The 2nd annual Lei Day at my school. I actually ran an assembly and showed the video taken at last year's Ho'olaule'a. | ||
April 19 | Halau 'O Moanike'ala sponsers a fantastic concert with "Sista" Robi and the Makaha Sons. At the concert, I briefly met Ipolani Silva for the first time. She was very "with child". No photos were allowed at the concert. | ||
June 2 | I heard on Island Kine Radio that Fia Fia Silva was born on this day. | ||
Sept. 27 and 28 | Ho'olaule'a 1997 - More video and some photos. | ||
Nov. 29 and 30 | The Halau hosts a Christmas Show downtown. I shot many photos and video and presented them to Ipolani. The rest of the Halau still does not know me yet. This was the first time I took photos mostly of the Halau, although Nani Ola Dance Co. also performed and I enjoyed them (and photographed) them as well. | ||
I didn't know her name on this day, but she would later become my most frequent "model". See Pohai in the the Young Aloha Photos section. |
