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!

The gifts of Dog Meets World continue to accumulate for those on both sides of the camera. Allison stated “I enjoyed the permissive opportunity DMW gave to take pictures of Mayans – I’ve always been conservative with that on previous visits to Guatemala so have lots of pictures of architecture instead. It’s great to have had the chance to add so many colorful pictures of beautiful people to my Guatemala.”
