Hi everybody. I hope my title caught your eyes and brought you in here! =)

My name is Khoi Nguyen, which is a very Vietnamese name. I'm actually from the United States, but was originally born in Vietnam. (Don't worry I speak almost perfect English now). I'm twenty-five years old, and just had just recently finished my contract with the Marine Corps, and working as a manager for a Holiday Inn right now.

I've always liked photography as a hobby and a way to de-stress myself, but recently I've discovered that I have a burning passion for it! Unfortunately, only my dad shares my love of still pictures and no one else I know. SO I decided to download this forum app on my phone and realized how great most of you guys are! Everyone's constructive, and polite and nice! Its definitely a huge change from the forums I normally see!

The reason I named my title as such is: I always believe there is something to learn. Even if I should discover the secret of "life", I'll still believe I haven't learned anything about death yet. So whether its photography, video gaming, baking cookies, or loving; we'll never be truly whole, unless we share ourselves with others.

thank you!

Note: I just added my Flickr banner on my signature...however those pictures were taken at least two years ago, and my style has more or less improved since then!

Hi Khoi

welcome - and dont worry about your english its fine - probably better than a lot of us native born english speakers

what sort of pics do you like taking ? (your flickr banner isnt showing - I think theres a minimum number of posts before sig links show)

(btw - I tried your theory on loving on the wife and she doesnt agree - she says i'm definitely not allowed to share it with anyone other than her ;) :lol:)

Haha I hope your wife won't think that I'm spouting out ways to touch people. My favorite style of photography is expressive or emotional. I want every one of my pictures to show exactly how I felt when I took it, all within a fraction of a second!

This is my flickr account. I actually just logged onto it recently so I can start using it again. Seeing the picture of my uncle made me tear up inside...he died a week after I took those pictures...
