Ngoai

When I first learned about a Microsoft media tool called Photo Story 3, I immediately scanned a number of photos from the family’s photo albums and put together my first project: “Ngoai”, literally translated as “Grandma.”

The summer wind, came blowin'in
- from across the sea

- Lyrics from a 1965 song's Summer Wind


My Grandmother This picture was taken when she was on vacation at Vung Tau.

Memories that are FOREVER cherished.

Remembering...

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ The way she was.
~ ~ ~ ~ The love she gave.
~ ~ The joy she had with her beautiful SMILE :)

Then & Evermore...

Thanks!
Love Always,

Production Note:
Because my grandmother had passed away the year before, it was hard to let her go.

It took me almost two years to learn that my grandmother is still with us. She had passed on us her heritage, wisdom and guidance that we now proudly possess.

*Vung Tau (Vietnamese: Vũng Tàu) is well-known for its long stretch of beaches located approximately 70 miles away from Ho Chi Minh City.
