Photo Art by Kim-Lan
Through "Orphan Eyes"...
Welcome to my photography website. Friends have always known my passion for dance. I am excited to share this passion at my dance studio in Little Elm, TX. In recent years, I have also developed a love of photography. I have found beauty in God's works, from the extravagant majesties of Hawaiian landscapes to the innocence of new life beginning.
I was adopted many moons ago, coming to the States on the "Baby Airlift Operation" when Saigon was falling. I had a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to recently return back to my homeland of Saigon, Vietnam. I am forever touched by seeing the raw beauty in the spirit of Vietnam and its people. I got to see the orphanage that God plucked me out of and the neighborhood that I once called home. It was humbling beyond words to see families STILL live on the streets, work in the rice patty fields and transport around mainly by foot, bicycles, mo-peds or row boats. My heart is full of gratitude for my mother's most courageous act of adopting me. Forever grateful...forever changed!
Here's to sharing a little splice of what I see through my orphan eyes...
All for Him, Kim-Lan
