Dear Miaor: My name is Phố Hoài (phohoai75) and I am currently an Associate Professor at the University of California in Irvine (UCI). In an event that we needed inspiration to design for a Winter poster program for Asian children here in Irvine, CA, I surfed "flickr" and discovered your site: www.flickr.com/ph... . Every single picture of Albert's you posted here is a sign of your (the parents) love for him. Each picture shows Albert's charm, intelligence, brightness. And yet, they all are in "professional/photography" quality. If you even ask me which ones are my favorites, I cannot pin-point them out because I actually like them all. I even shared the link with my colleagues and relatives and they all agreed with me of the overall charming quality of the photos. To Alberts' parents, I am at the stage of becoming a parent myself (I am 33) and I wish to take your way of showing love to your kid(s) as a great example. I will copy your methodology and will post my kid's pictures in flickr when I have my kid. The reason is that the way you took pictures for Albert, it showed. It showed all the well disciplines and parenting faith you have for him; the loving-kindness that you've worked hard for your child; the beauties embedded in your hearts about life that you especially reserved for Albert. He really does deserve all of them! Very soon and without any doubt, Mr. Albert will be one of our Asian kids to succeed in life, with his kind heart (does everyone agree with me, besides his charm, Albert does have a KIND HEART that we can see through these photos?!), he will be able to do whatever it takes to add values to his life, his family's and humankind's. I can rest assured that he will also be very artistic in his profession, too (i.e., a great Doctor that can play violin?!). Dear Miaor, I do not fuss over things that often but I had to do on your Albert's photos. They have been cheering our days up in the past several months. Your "flickr" site is on our most favorite folders and we check if you post new ones yet, everyday! We are fans of your photography talents and certainly, fans of Alberts. Again, they all are very "kind" photos. Please continue to post them... I wish your family the very best in health and happiness. (Amazingly, your pictures also show that your family is a healthy and very happy family!) Your fan and FANS from UCIrvine, Southern California, U.S.A. Phố Hoài
