Sean is taking a picture of phodographer Austin Lane in action. The two coworkers were on a hiking and biking tour of Peru in a small farming village well off the tourist path. They stopped, got out their cameras and the printer and handed out first photos! The first Take & Give Photo shoot for Dog Meets World, almost one year ago.

John currently backpacking through South America emails “I took pictures in Yumani, Isla del Sol, an island on Lake Titicaca, Bolivia, best know for its Incan ruins. They are actually my favourite DMW shots of the trip, and I had a little more time. Three brothers were playing outside while their mother was working as the toilet attendant at the jetty for the island, and were all captivated by the printer.” The clearly visible paws of little Foto and Edgar’s shoes are a charming parallel. Peace & Love.

While backpacking through South American, John has carried a Foto dog and printer to participate in Dog Meets World. He said he was “on a bus in Ecuador, heading for the border when I met a little girl near Guayanquil who had hopped on with her mother for a few miles. She fell in love with Foto the dog and was riding it around the bus – so sweet. She and her family loved the picture and the memory!
