Phodographer Gigi Ackerman, near Siem Reap, Cambodia, Oct. 2009
Meet Gigi. She recently graduated from Bolles High School in Jacksonville, Florida. Before continuing on to college (she attends Tulane University spring semester) she took off time to explore the world and make a difference. Her travels took her to many destinations in Asis, including volunteer time with Mad for Good near Seim Reap, Cambodia where she practiced Dog Meets World. In her words “I started taking photos and like everyone from the village swarmed around me. It was amazing to watch everyone see themselves in a photo for the first time.”

Phodographer Patrick Fleming in Siem Reap, Cambodia Aug. 2009
Professor Fleming, completing a Fulbright Scholarship stated “Life through the lens enhances each moment when one is a guest in an unfamiliar land. This sensory instance bridges any gaps in verbal languages and embeds a memory in photographer and subject alike.” He so enjoyed Dog Meets World that he is taking the project to remote Kyrgyzstan this month!
