Cowboy Kaona is an informal catalogue of black and white photographs documenting cowboy work and play shot by Leilani Hino on the Big Island of Hawaii. They were shot opportunistically between 1979 and 1988 while she was transitioning from a life overseas back to Hawaii, where she was born. There are few captions. Instead, viewers can decipher for themselves the grand story, the lessons, the kaona-underlying meaning. And each viewer will give unique life to the still images that blend fifty shades of grey-all in the life of the Hawaiian cowboy.
