Daily Foto: A true wandering educator in Peru
NEW Phodographer John Rader in Cusco, Peru April 2010
John, a music teacher from NYC has been visiting Peru over spring break, by definition a wandering educator. He packed along a Foto pup and a portable printer to let him share photographs with these children on the streets of the old Incan capital city of Cusco. While many stop to take pictures of such children, John took it one step further and shared their image with them! In sync it just so happens that Dog Meets World is featured on the Wandering Educators website! Thanks to all.
Daily Foto: Wonderment to All
Phodographer John Carr in Chivay, Peru, September 2009
John backpacked through South America with a Foto pup and printer. Concluding his 5 month travels he said “Participating in Dog Meets World has been a truly magical experience. Reaching across the world to share photos, memories and joyous moments is a wonderful thing and being able to spread happiness one smile at a time is priceless. I have met children and adults from across a continent with the project, and without exception have found the project to be one that brings joy and wonderment to all I meet.” Many tourists have taken this boy’s picture, but John stopped to print and share.

Phodographer Austin Lane in Huilloq, Peru Nov. 2008
Co-phodographer Sean Pfitzenmaier is surrounded by curious villagers. Watching the portable printer produce a vivid photograph in under a minute is spell-binding. During the printing process it began to lightly drizzle. On his own the boy shown on the left picked up and held Austin’s hat to protect the printer……knowing inherently that the pictures were important!

Sean is taking a picture of phodographer Austin Lane in action. The two coworkers were on a hiking and biking tour of Peru in a small farming village well off the tourist path. They stopped, got out their cameras and the printer and handed out first photos! The first Take & Give Photo shoot for Dog Meets World, almost one year ago.
