happy in Guatemala
Phodographer Halle Hughes around Lake Atitlan, Guatemala Mar. 2009

Patti Hughes wrote…we traveled through the mountains of Lake Atitlan and Antigua, Guatemala. We also helped founder of DOG MEETS WORLD global photo project, Carolyn Lane, launch one of the first Take and Give Photography field visits. We captured and printed pictures of children in remote, primitive villages, enabling them to receive their first photograph! Our daughters Madison, Halle and Gracie (ages 12, 10 & 8 ) on their first trip abroad enjoyed this part more than anything else. It was such a joy to give these children and families a gift like this. What a wonderful experience for all of us!

“My favorite part of DMW was watching the children smile looking at their pictures” said young phodographer Halle, aged 10. This feedback illustrated that Dog Meets World can be a family adventure, literally kid-to-kid photo diplomacy.

I’m NOT kidding you, the name of this area in greater Cape Town South Africa is Beverly Hills! You just can’t make this stuff up. This little guy might not be famous, but he is a star to his mother.

All children have a richness and giving a child a meaningful keepsake photo is like handing out tangible joy! Anyone that travels for whatever reason, can pack a portable printer, share and be part of Dog Meets World community.

Boy in Blue from Guatemala
Phodographer Patti Hughes in Zunil, Guatemala July 2009

Smiling for a camera is completely reflexive for most of us. We forget that we had to be told over and over to SMILE, and that it is really a learned response. So often these children are silly up until they pose for the camera and then become purposefully serious. It’s not unlike old American photographs of our grandparents or great grandparents, when photography was rare and one wanted to appear dignified.
