The Daily Foto: She’s so pleased to have her daughter’s first picture!
Phodographer Austin Lane in Huilloq, Peru November 2008
The little girl posed for the first picture taken as part of Dog Meets World in a remote village in Peru. The mother is trying hard to look serious and dignified posing with her daughter’s first photograph. She’s just pleased as punch and can’t suppress her joy! This outstanding scene is captures the iconic image of Dog Meets World and how a simple photograph can be so meaningful.
The Daily Foto: Mesmerized
Phodographer Patti Hughes in Santiago, Guatemala March 2009
Just imagine you are seeing yourself in a picture for the VERY first time! As the traffic whizzed by, this little boy, intently stared at his image (seen at the right) and remained motionless for 30 minutes. Surely he was thinking of himself as more significant and perhaps dreaming bigger dreams. Dog Meets World is all about increasing self esteem….Take & Give photography…..anyone can do this!

Phodographer Brandon McCullers in Guanacasta, Costa Rica, Nov. 2008
Bringing small toys or candy to the village children paled as a gift when Brandon, who frequently does business in Costa Rica, became a phodographer for Dog Meets World and instead gave the local children their first photos printed on-the-spot!
