Foto’s Blog: Watching the Printing Process in Peru
Phodographer Austin Lane in Hilloq, Peru, Nov 2008
From the VERY beginning the process of photo sharing with Dog Meets World always draws a fascinated crowd of participants. The portable printer is VERY interesting to watch and the time spent waiting for the individual photos to print is perfect time for much looking and learning. We study each other across our cultural divide. What is most evident is our shared humanity. We are alike!

Co-founder Austin was the first to practice Dog Meets World. While on vacation in Peru, he brought along Foto and a portable printer and sought out a community off the beaten path. Mesmerized by the stunning local fabrics and costumes, he practiced Take & Give photography much to the delight of this mother and many others. Anyone can connect cultures through photography…it’s like voluntourism for everyone on holiday in the world of need. JOIN THE MOVEMENT!

Phodographer and Teacher John Rader in the Sacred Valley, Peru March 2010
Just take along your own Foto dog (see under Participate) and a portable printer to easily connect and share through the power of photography like educator John Rader did with these siblings while in Peru over spring break. Dog Meets World believes that each single shared photograph is an indelible affirmation that is left behind as a tiny seed of peace. Join the movement and give back on all your travels in the world of need.
Daily Foto: Picture Perfect in Peru
Phodographer John Rader, educator in Cusco, Peru, March 2010
This is the perfect picture (okay it’s today’s perfect picture because at Dog Meets World all the pictures capture perfect images to share). This child raises money on the streets of the old Incan capital by offering to pose for tourists. Educator John Rader on a spring break trip was the first to offer her a copy for herself. The baby goat and little Foto have identical coloring and they look like they’re happily interacting, actually I think they’re “kissing”. Sharing a photo on-the-spot leaves an indelible affirmation and a tiny seed of peace. Teachers make perfect phodograpahers!
