Sorry ... I had to say that first, because I've recently noted an increase in cases of crass theft and profiteering, abusive, humiliating use of amateur photographers' work by huge, impersonal, multinational, bullshit companies run by conniving, sneaking, profiteering, criminal assholes who believe it's their right to profit from others' work.

Cases in point:

Now that that's out of the way...:

I'm 38, she's 34.

I'm originally from Hammond, Louisiana, and have traveled far and wide in the US.

Nga is from Hanoi, Vietnam, and has traveled far and wide in Vietnam and China.

When we're not working, we both dabble in trying flavorful, adventurous world food, and photographing people and things that we find interesting. We're both definitely amateurs very open to suggestions for improving our understanding and execution of photography and the world.

We're both travel lovers, but haven't been out much recently. We're always looking for "hosts," travel companions, or locals who can show us the places and scenes that only locals know ... especially in the following countries / locations: West Coast USA, American West USA, Eastern Canada, Western Canada, China, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Philippines, and Indonesia.

We've "hosted" and/or served as "local guides" for select travelers in the Southern Louisiana area and/or in Vietnam (when we're in Asia). Of course, we'd have to know a little about you before we can do that.
