Phodographer Carolyn Lane in Lacul, Haiti, April 2009

While on a Dog Meets World photo tour in Haiti last year, we strolled along this beach near Lacul. We came upon women washing clothes and ask them if they’d like their photos taken. This mom was completely delighted to have her daughter’s first photograph ever. It was fun capturing and sharing this joyful moment between mother and daughter.

The reactions ranged from happy gratitude to hurrying away to go show their mothers!

Today’s Washington Post told the story of a rising singer Esceline Belcombe from Haiti now living in a improvised tent city after the earthquake destroyed her home. She paid to have someone sift through the rubble for valuables and scattered around are her priceless photographs. Dog Meets World aims to put a photo in the hands of all children/families in need to create their personal artifacts. Volunteer and help connect cultures through photography.
