- Koa wood is Hawaii's precious native wood and is prized for its beautiful color and grain. Found at higher elevations, it stands over 70 feet in height when fully grown. In ancient times, koa wood was crafted exclusively for royalty. Sculptured images of gods, personal containers, and canoes were made by the Hawaiians from this native wood. In old times, a piece of koa was placed on the hula altar to make the dancer fearless. (Koa means "brave" in Hawaiian.)
- Nothing frames a Randy Jay Braun image more beautifully than a koa wood frame-a Hawaiian image in a Hawaiian wood frame. The koa frames we offer are available in a 1-inch moulding or a 2-inch moulding. Pictured to the above right is a sample 2-inch Koa framed image.
- When you order a 5x7 matted print in a koa frame, it comes in an 8x10 frame; an 8x10 matted print comes in an 11x14 frame; an 11x14 matted print comes in a 16x20 frame; and, a 16x20 matted print comes in a 20x24 frame.
- Through his images, Randy tries not only to preserve a key aspect of the Hawaiian culture but also to capture the beauty of the hula tradition and the Hawaiian people.
- Most of the images are photographed during sunset, using the natural light of sunset. The dancers are always in mid-dance when Randy captures his shots; dancers are not posing. This creates a sense of reality and intensity within Randy's portfolio of images.
- The dancers in Randy's images are talented dancers, most of who are currently dancing with hula halau (hula troope). Many of them are competition winners and some of them are kumu hula (hula teachers).
