Beach Volleyball, 1977

Beach Volleyball, 1977Every summer our family would camp for a few weeks at Haena Beach Park near Taylor Camp. We were from that side of the island but had moved to Wailua when our Dad and Uncle joined the police department and mom became matron at the jail. Me and my big sister were pretty young, I was about six or seven, but old enough to do things on our own. It was her idea that we could sneak down to Taylor Camp, if we told our mother that we were going shell hunting.

“Me and my big sister were pretty young, I was about six or seven, but old enough to do things on our own. It was her idea that we could sneak down to Taylor Camp, if we told our mother that we were going shell hunting. Then we could go and see ‘naked people’!  So, all the kids went with us and, oh my god, naked people!  We usually went down there in the late afternoon during volleyball time when everything was flipping and flopping and we’d be sitting in the bushes trying to look, and not trying to look—you know, covering our eyes and looking through our fingers. It was a confusing time.” — Sandy Kaauwai

PHOTO PRINTS
Prints are on Hahnemuhle heavyweight (315 gsm) 100% archival cotton “Photo Rag Baryta” paper, using archival inks and archival spray coating. They have a 200-year life expectancy before any deterioration of the print will be observed when stored, handled, and displayed under archival conditions.

CANVAS PRINTS
What is often called “Gallery Wrap Canvas” is a fine art inkjet (Giclee) print on canvas, with printed edges to wrap around a wooden stretcher frame, like a painting. With canvas prints, your print image is still the same size, but given a "wrap effect" around the edges to account for the thickness of the stretcher. Canvas can be rolled and shipped with no effect to the print. Your local framing shop should be able to mount the canvas to stretchers at a fraction of the cost of traditional framing, making for an overall more economical way to get fine art on your wall. The canvas is printed to wrap around a 1-inch stretcher (1.5 inches on larger sizes). Specifications will be provided with your order. Feel free to contact us if you need guidance with your canvas order.
