DMW at the idealist.org Fair in Washington DC
Volunteers Becca Cohen, Eric Hagen and Marge Bailey helped man our table at this fair attracting over 2000 attendees. It was an excellent event to spread the Dog Meets World message among philanthropically minded persons, as well as attracting interns and volunteers! The conversations were non-stop for 4 hours. Idealist.org is a great website for the nonprofit world.
The Daily Foto: Expressing Pride
Phodographer Brittany Lane near Port-au-Prince, Haiti April 2009
Principal Jacky Dorleans writes “during your stay in Haiti you made hundreds of people happy by not only taking their pictures, but also by handing them almost instantly their own very first pictures. Merci, Merci beaucoup on behalf of our students. What I like the most, while I was looking at the pictures, is how every child has a unique way to hold “Foto” the dog to express their pride. I am pretty sure that you are already making plans for another trip, and for your dog to meet new people and families in different points of the globe. Thank you very much!” Join this movement and you could be the next phodographer!!
The Daily Foto: Youngest Subject
Phodographer “Paullydog” in Santiago, Dominican Republic, Sept. 2009
In the United States just how many pictures do we take the first week a child is born….10?, 50?, 100? or perhaps more like 1000! What a thrill for philanthropist Paul and team to take and immediately give out first photos to many children, including infants like this one.
The Daily Foto: Blowing in the Wind
Phodographer Carolyn Lane in Cape Town, South Africa February 2009
It is endlessly windy in the Cape Town area of South Africa. Okay I know wind machines are used to photograph models…but this young lady had her hands full with her real dog and our Foto dog and couldn’t control her hair….so I switched places with her and revealed her striking beauty! A stunning first photo for her!
The Daily Foto: Freezing the Moment
Phodographer Phil Starling in Siem Reap, Cambodia August 2009
After the taking and immediate printing of photographs, Phil expressed how the “image which freezes a moment for them is so very important”, and will be glanced at by the children and others for a lifetime.
