Phodographer Patti Hughes in Zunil, Guatemala, July 2009

Patti Hughes (of Natural Life) and co-phodographer Allison Hillis just returned from Guatemala. “Zunil was the most colorful village we stumbled across. The people here are bolder because they are weaving and wearing whatever colorful combination they can come up with, while most villagers wear only traditional colors.”

Patti exhorts everyone to get involved saying ‘It’s the most rewarding experience to hand a child a photograph of themselves. Take and Give photography!’

Phodographer Madison Hughes in Guatemala, March 2009

Patti Hughes, owner of Natural Life, took her family, including 3 young daughters, is in Guatemala on a design research/vacation. A heartfelt supporter of Dog Meets World, she took along 2 Selphy printers and plenty of film with the intention of being one of the earliest and definitely the youngest field phodographers. And it was the inaugural trip introducing the new plush toy dog “Foto”. I could hardly contain my excitement today when the first photos were emailed…incredible eyes, youthful beauty, backgrounds, clothing! A huge “Hi Five” to this remarkable camera crew….kid-to-kid photo diplomacy at its best.
