Why are you taking pics. of poles when you could be chasing Hula Girls and taking pics. to post here!

Thank you for your question. The simple answer is that this is NOT Hulagirls Central. Tiki Central CELEBRATES classic and modern Polynesian Pop.

I am personally very interested in the HISTORY of these islands and ART contained within.

I think others are too.

"Waikiki Tiki: Art, History and Photographs" is an excellent book that you should (if not already) own or at least have read.

You can get it here on Amazon

The book contains 17 years of photographs, research and collecting focused on one island of the Hawaiian chain. That is my passion. I do have other photographs that are not Tiki-related, but I choose not to post them here.

However, the 263 pages of Waikiki Tiki were not enough to include everything 'Tiki' that I photographed during that period. There are also new discoveries that deserve to be brought to your attention. This thread stays on topic and provides interesting eyecandy seen nowhere else. For instance, this stone sculpture is in Haleiwa. Ever seen it before?

best,

Phillip
