"The day the dogs stood still"
"The day the dog stood still" a photographic journey of life and hope.
A dream assignment, comes along once in a life time.
A time to make a difference for those who have no voice for themselves.
An assignment that can change the life for many, raise awareness for a cause and create a visual miracle for all to see
This is what I dream of…
There is a harsh reality in this world that many turn a blind eye to.
In the time it takes to read this over 20 dogs will be put to sleep. In the next hour over 750 and by the end of the day over 13,000 dogs in the United States will have been euthanized. If we can help just one dog than that’s one less innocent animal that wi ll lose it's life due to a lack of resources or finding a loving home.
My dream assignment would consist of taking a 30-day road trip beginning at Liberty state park, Jersey City New Jersey where the statue of liberty resides. We will start off our journey by taking a southern route to California. A stop would be made in each state we pass through and we will visit at least one Animal shelter in that state. We will choose to photograph the one dog or cat that has been at that shelter the longest or is in need of urgent medical care. By the days end that animals photograph will be posted up on a national web site including face book and others t hat will depict the animals and their story for hundreds of thousands to view not only in the United States but around the world Everyday. A blog and video documentary will also be created as we make our way to the coast that will be updated and viewed daily. Once we reach the west coast we will begin to make our way back taking a northern route repeating the same attempt on our return trip back to the east coast. Other subjects and situations will be photographed on the way but the main focus will be to photograph the dogs and cats being cared for in animal shelters across the united states in the hope that they will either be adopted by someone who has viewed their photograph and story or their lives might be prolonged with generous donations. Once arriving back in Liberty state park we will gather as many dogs and their owners in an attempt to break a Guinness world record in the biggest sit and stay ever. Also an attempt will be made to photograph the most dogs and their owners ever gathered together in one place at one time. The photograph will be taken from above the crowd on a 30 ft boom once the Guinness effort is complete. This event will be coined "THE DAY THE DOGS STOOD STILL” The trip itself will be called "photographs of hope" and we will seek to raise as many funds and bring as much awareness to the plight of the millions of dogs and cats who are brought into animal shelters each year that are either adopted out to loving homes or left behind t o eventually be euthanized. A final project would be to produce a gallery showing of the most compelling photographs to be put on display. The profits of the sale of every photograph will go directly to the shelter from where that photograph was taken. This assignment is a huge undertaking but with much careful planning a little hope and a lot of faith I promise to capture many fantastic images of the people, the animals they pledge to save and all the amazing places of this great nation that will be visited during "Our dream assignment".

Go Joe!!! I pray you win because it is an assignment that needs to be done to raise awareness!
Wow Joe, what an awesome trip and journey you are one. My fids (fur kids) wish you good luck and many wonderful photographs!
Kathi
Best of luck in reaching your goal, we and all the animals win!
Good luck Joe! We're behind you.
good luck from me and the rescued animals at Beach House
Joe,
I voted for you of course! Good Luck! It is a wonderful idea!
KK : )
good luck!!
Hi Joe,
If I was a gambler my money is on you!!
Good Luck, hun!!!!!
Keep me posted
Edie
Hello Joe! I found you though Bernie Berlin's sight! I hope that your dream will come true! And and I hope through this dream that places like Bernie's no longer have to be a reality - because that would mean that everyone takes care of the animals the way they should!! :) Good luck! Tamara
Go Joe!
Karen
What a fantastic idea!
Joe, your project sounds beautiful and very needed. We must all stand up and speak for the creatures who cannot speak for themselves. I'm so happy Bernie told me about you. I hope you win this, and get to do this worthy project! Take care, Patsy
Joe, What a great idea - Best of luck. Chris
As you truly seem connected to your subjects through a lens of shared curiosity, humor & respect, I can't see anyone better then you in bringing to the light of day the plight of our friends in the canine community. Good Luck!.
Wonderful! So moving and touching, big hearts!!!
Best of Luck and Please Many Pictures of your Journey Ahead!!!
The lives you could save by increasing awareness of the plights of homeless animals would be tremendous! Best of luck!
Good Luck...I LOVE your doggie pictures...you really captured their faces!!!
Good luck!
Joe,you can speak for the pets and help save many many of them.It will be great and your photos are too. All my best regards from, Laci and Angelo's Grandma- Sunshine
Best of luck and thank you for sharing the beautiful story about A Place to Bark through your photos!
Good luck!! Beautiful pictures and I hope your efforts bring more attention to A Place To Bark and all animals everywhere.
Good luck in the contest.
I'll spread the word about you on Twitter! I wish I could vote for you a million times!
Good Luck Joe, Thank you for giving the voiceless a voice. Wonderful photography and a huge heart, I salute you!
Ben (rescued Rottweiler)
Joe, your idea is fabulous! I see a potential calendar in there too. I read about your idea at 'A Place to Bark.' Good Luck!! Karla
Is this seriously what you sit around and dream about?
I just entered this contest myself but my vote goes to you.
I love your idea and I hope you win :)
Good luck Joe!
Joe, I don't think that you should limit your dream assignment to just dogs. There are many cats, birds, pigs, horses, ducks, etc. that are in need of homes. Open people's eyes up to this awful reality and show them the importance of adopting from shelters and the mission for no more homeless pets.
LOVE LOVE LOVE it. We've gotta take care of the animals.... & you should def. include horse rescue.
Dustin your dream is very commendable I sympathize with it having family members who have served and are serving in our great military. I dream of a day when there is no need for animal shelters that kill. when puppy mills no longer exist in operation as we know them. Dustin I urge
you Go down to a local animal shelter look into the eyes of those animals. Ask how many will be be destroyed by the end of the day the end of the week by the end of the year & how many will be brought through those doors again to repeat the same vicious cycle. Good luck with your dreams Dustin. Joe
you are one of the saints and keepers of the less fortunate...my fingers are crossed along with my 8dogs and their paws, lol..all rescues...the world needs more selfless friends like you!! you rock!! kim~
Your dog (and cat) photos are unique. Traveling across country would be a great adventure for you and will help bring more awareness to shelter animals from coast to coast. Best of luck!
Cisco, Bella and Andy.
Amazing idea! I hope I can be a part of it.
You are such a wonderful person with a big heart and those animals love you for it, along with all of us.
Were pulling for you here in Massachusetts, Joe. Thank you for what you do.
We're pulling for you here in Massachusetts, Joe. Thank you for what you do.
This is the best! You are very talented and focused--this will go far! Think about entering the documentary into the Sundance Film Festival when you are done! Let me know if I can help.
When we are dreaming alone it is only a dream. When we are dreaming with others, it is the beginnig of reality.
Way to go Joe . . . good luck - hope you win!
One by one we will make a difference in this world, whether it's loving one animal, or one person. Love is a must. Good luck! I voted for you!
Great work Joe!!!!
Best of Luck Joe
I was saved by a rescue dog from the Washington DC Humane Society - so I support your dream!
You have my vote Joe!
Best of luck to you and all you do for the animals...Thank you. You got my vote.
Happy to give you my vote.
I am one of those rescue people.. This is fantastic. Thank YOU !! You have my vote and all the other volunteers too.
I posted a Link from my FB to here...hopefully a few people will click on it. Keep up the great work...good job Joe!
Good luck Joe!
Way to go! Good luck!
Thank you and good luck!
Joe, you have some of the best dog pictures I've ever seen! you have the power to really do something to help animals.
Your idea is by far a winner in my book and I hope it comes to fruition. We need to be the voice for sheltered animals and bring light to their dark situation.
Good Luck!!!
God Bless you for loving the animals.
What a wonderful thing you are doing.
Good Luck!
Good luck.....Bernie led me to your wish and i voted!
Good luck and I hope your dream assignment comes true - I voted - Di
I hope you win, Joe! The animals need people like you and Bernie to help them.
God bless you and I'll say a prayer that you win. Anything for animals!
AWESOME. Maybe we can put dogs behind steering wheels of cars after dropping their puppies off to serve in the military. If they signed up for a pay check, they made a mistake. If they think war is wrong, they should have joined the Peace Corps. God Bless the puppies and the United States Military.
Fantastic ideas Frazz! Let me know if you need sometime to take the trip with you.
Go Joe! You're definitely one of the good guys! Good luck.
found you through Bernie's blog - your photos are wonderful. hope you win.
Best of luck...I found you through Bernie's blog as well. The dogs are lucky to have you on their side!!!
The world needs more people like you, Bernie, and the rest of the place to bark crew. Good Luck!
This is amazing. I wish more people were aware of the animals that are put down every day through no fault of their own. Especially in today's economy, people are leaving their homes and leaving the pets behind. Its heartbreaking. Good luck to you! I sincerely hope you win.
THE BEST, THE ABSOLUTE BEST. TO look at and review all of Joe's work and to know Joe, he should win hands down. Each dog portrait that he has done holds so much feeling and depth. Joe should be THE WINNER.
If only everyone understood. Those of us who are lucky enough to have figured it out have been blessed with a priceless gift since the unconditional love & bond between a human and pet is truly therapeutic. I will forward your cause to everyone in my address book. Good Luck!
Good luck Joe!!!! Great dream, hope it comes true for you!!!
Sweet project Fiendish Villian.
You rock man! Hey, have you ever rolled around in a yellow jacket's nest?
I love dogs. I love America. I love Democrates. I love this idea. It's amazing how we never see such creative and meaningful ideas come out of the John Birch Society
Found out about you via Bernie's blog. Good luck. Hope you win.
Cheers to you for helping those that can't help themselves. You've gotten my vote.
this is a heartfelt idea. i also want to help others by bringing awareness and unity for non-profits worldwide, including ones that help animals: http://www.nameyourdreamassignment.com/the-ideas/jenmay/unity-through-community/
I love it! I admire your passion! As a a photographer and an animal lover you have my vote!!!
You're the best dog photographer I've ever met. You rule.
My two rescue dogs say "BRAVO" !!
Good luck Joe, Sweets and I are pulling for you.
I love your idea Joe. Good luck with everything. You have my full support.
Good Luck to you!
Love your photos Frazz.
Wonderful idea...Very much hope you win!
found out about this via bernie berlin...i am an avid animal lover & am happy to help out!
Good luck Joe. I think it is a wonderful dream!
Hi from Portugal!!! I love dogs and I love Bernie's blog.She says you are a great man and I believe her.So here's my vote to you and my best wish for you to win!
Belinha!
this is the most amazing idea! even if you do not win the funding to do this i hope that all of us can somehow support you to complete the project anyway. the animals deserve it!
Hey Joe- Bernie asked me to "pic" you. It would be a remarkable journey. Best of luck to you and god bless!
Tricia in Toronto
I came to the site to vote for someone else but when I saw your idea I knew I needed to log one for you, too. Good Luck! BK in CA
Hey Joe- I wish you the best of success in this journey. Their stories need to be told and as we all know...a picture is a thousand words!!
Good luck from Patte in Thunder Bay, Ontario
Jazzyfresh not only have I rolled around in a yellow jackets nest I have walked head on into a hanging hornets nets good times goods times.
I love this idea! I support local rescues and have two adoptees of my own, so this really hits home. My vote is in!
Please check out my idea, too - to travel Rt. 66 documenting the musical culture along the way. My final project will benefit music education. Would love your support. Thanks!
Wow, that's quite a journey! We (me, my daughter, the dog, and 2 cats) all wish you the best of luck. We look forrward to following the journey! You will be twittering it, won't you?
Carole
Good luck to you and thanks for yout work, :)
I think this is such a wonderful thing that you are doing for all shelter animals. I thank you!! Besides Chris would of kicked my ass!!!
LOVE your work!!!!!
this is a wonderful idea...you can always be the best! your works are so good, true, honest! thanks for cluing me in on CM. my best always, you may not recognize my username but I always leave my initial [v] ...that a should give you a clue as to who I am, lol GOOD LUCK!
Thank you for thinking of this project. As a rescue volunteer, I know how difficult the economy has been on family pets. The shelters are over whelmed and rescues are running out of room. Anything that helps bring these animals to the attention of people who can help is greatly appreciated.
As a dog lover, I like your idea!
Will you vote for me? Let's do this and see how it turns out. Let's help each other!
Good luck!
You Go Joe! From the other side of the Ocean, I support your idea.
Good dogs! Good photos! Good man! Great dream!
=^..^=
As an animal activist of many, many years, I strongly support this idea. Good luck.
Great job ! Good luck !
best wishes from one big dog lover to another...
Thanks so much for you time & efforts on behave of the animals. Great pictures!
D.
good luck, joe!
I just wanted to say ,, I love this idea.I wish you all the luck. Here in SC the unwanted animals are just overwhelming, its a no end situation. The shelters here are always full. Some find homes,, some do not. It should be a law to have them all spayed or neutered. Good Luck , Joe.
GO JOE!
Go joe!
(: !!!
-Mike :D
Way to go Joe.
Jonni
If my idea (that is sort of similar) cannot win, I really hope yours does. Either way, the animals win. Also, if/when you do win, can I help you? :)
PS I volunteer at the shelter near Liberty State Park, so I can guarantee at least 10-15 dogs that could help participate.
Thanks BLConni were all in it together to work for the same outcome and yes I'm going to need all the help I can get especially from people like you! I love your photographs too.
Thank you for the vote! I added mine to your wonderful idea, as well :)
Good Luck Joe!
...animals silently remind us of unspoken grace and loyalty..they teach us to care. show us more.!
please check my idea......i promise for every vote i get to make you a dream collaborator-- and donate a percentage of exhibit sales to your animal cause.
A Place to Bark sent me to here. I signed up and voted for you. I hope this happens for you!
Amazing idea! I hope you make top 20, (which you will) I want you to win. :]
We had to put our dog down because of his diabetes and his age (13yr) But I agree it is wrong to put dogs down because they don't have a place to go...
GOOD LUCK
This is wonderful and original. Good luck! Please check out my idea and toss me a vote :)
Joe - Delilah and I want to ride shotgun if you win! We'll even bring cookies! :)
I love your idea... you are so much higher up than I, but we care about the same thing. I gave up on the contest, but you have my vote!
Good luck. Chris told me about your idea and I think it's great. Hope you win!
Go for us all, good luck
What an awesome dream. I hope I comes to pass.
Good luck... and please check out my dream!
What a terrific idea Joe! It sounds like it's going to be a trip filled with the sad reality that exists in our pet shelters. Hopefully you will get what you desire out of this 'job' and help some needy dogs along the way.
Thanks and good luck.
This is such an important issue!
Please check out our dream assignment too...
we are focusing on farm animals in need, and the importance of treating all living beings with respect in order to achieve a more peaceful world for everyone.
Save the animals, save the world.
:)
Best of luck..I got my dog at The Humane Society in Portland, Oregon and my life would not be complete without her. Thanks for speaking for all the pooches!
Super awesome idea =)
I love this idea! check out mine and Pic it if youd like! Congo here I come...
I am so moved by what you and Bernie do.I DO believe that one person can make a difference in an animal's life. One person and another and another. You have a kind heart and the world is a better place because of it.Besides,anyone who likes a little Led for their head can't be all bad.
this will certainly make a very touching book!
I submitted my dream this morning, please have look! (documenting a very remote temple in Tibet)
good luck!
This should win.
Bernie sent me your way and what an awesome vision you have. Hope you win.
Way to go Joe-prayers and best wishes are with you to win this!
God Bless you and your vision. Your photographs are awesome!!
Good luck Joe! I hope you win.

I too have a few rescue dogs ( they are the best!)
Lee Ann Wren Fiskateer # 5802
Here's hoping you win. It is a desperate yet needless situation. Spaying and neuturing our pets would make such a difference in reducing the number of unwanted animals. Hopefully your book will open some eyes.

Power to the puppies JOE...I want to see you in the top ten.
Patty 2262
Joe this is a awesome idea and you should be in the top ten. . . We have always adopted our puppies from shelters or from people who were going to put them there because they were no longer wanted. Wishing all the luck to for fill your dream.
Luck to you and what a great thing you are doing!

Oh Joe of course
that sounds like an amazing idea! i praise you for what you are trying to do, as well as for what you already do for the animals. i hope you are successful!
oops, forgot to leave my name and number. Chelle #4460
Sounds like an excellent idea Joe - you are already getting international attention - I am from New Zealand!
I hope you get to make this dream come true.
- From Christine_#2264
good luck....just found out my dog Bart has cancer...I cant even think of all the dogs out there that dont have people of there own 2 love them thru it..we hope you win!!
Good luck Joe!
What a wonderful heart. These poor animals aren't able to speak for themselves they need a voice thank you for speaking up.
Good luck
Jackie 4124
Good Luch to you Joseph! You have a big heart! Take Care of the animals.

I have just spent a few Days with Bernie in Australia and as a result of her suggestion we find this link and vote - I am more than happy to let you know how special you must be just like Bernie and I do so hope we can get you to number 1 to win! Brenda Grace
There are many worthy winners for this, but this is the only project that 'touches' me. I really hope you go on and win this.
Wonderful idea, I know my dog would appreciate this project! voted.
Check out my idea on covering the new engineering and innovation designed at alleviating poverty and hunger and protecting the environment. Also check out my portfolio http://maclellanimages.com/blog1/galleries/
Animals teach us about unconditional love; we can choose to learn.
You gotta love people who are helping animals - thanks from the Webers!
This is very endearing. Dogs for life!
Good luck Joe!

Bless you.

good luck. don't forget the puppy mills. maybe this is a way to shut them down.
The day's of Puppy mills as we know them will cease to exist it's only a matter of time and a little more effort from citizens and the legislators.
Good Luck! Awesome idea and you have my vote.
Lesa #5200
Good luck ! My mom Patty 2832 sent me to check this out! You sound like a great guy! I voted for you!
What a wonderful, selfless dream! I hope you get the chance to make this dream come true, for yourself, as well as for our furry four-legged friends!
Joe,
You really wowed me! I only wish I'd come up with the idea.....sounds like my dream come true as I've volunteered at a shelter for years and have seen many dogs' lives wasted...I hope the ripples that come from this idea spread around the world.
Dawn
You have my vote, If you get the chance, check out my dream "From Australia With Love" and PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE vote for it!
Thanks.

Go Frazz Go... this is such a great thing you are doing. I too, would love to see a documentary on this. Best wishes and best of luck to you !!!!
This is a fantastic idea!!! I have forwarded the link to all of my friends and family and many co-workers hoping to get you more votes and to spread the word of what you are doing. If you can use any help beyond that, please don't hesitate to let me know on zootoo!
Hi Joe,
I'll let people know. Good luck.

hi joe,
Best of luck and thanks for sharing your talents!!!

I love your idea. When you get to Liberty State Park for the Guiness Book of World Records largest sit-stay, let me know and I'll bring Rags to join you.
Great Idea! You've got my vote-return the favor?

HEY JOE!!! HOPE YOU WIN, GOOD LUCKKKK!!!!
Wonderful idea, and here's a vote from a Liberty Humane Zootooer to see you on your way to take pics of the animals in need. Good luck!
Good Luck Joe , here is another Zootooer vote for you also .
Voted. Check mine out. http://www.nameyourdreamassignment.com/the-ideas/relentlsspursuit/capturing-asias-captured/
What an amazing person you are...thank you...yes, you have my vote and I will be at Liberty State park with my dog for your event...When is it???
Erin
HOO-RAH Joe! We're behind you all the way!!
Go get em JOE!!!
Joe even tough you don't win (as you should) we can do this with a little help from everyone arouond the planet. I live in Puerto Rico and my wife is a Veterinary Tech. and she works at an animal shelter and tells me that daily they euthanize around 30 to 40 dogs and/or cats. contd....
I think we can make this dream happen. Lets bring awareness to everyhome on the planet, at least I can cover the Puerto Rico shelters, lets see who can cover a shelter in their respective towns, and we can make a webpage and do exactly what you envision.
Best of Luck
I understand that dogs must be important to you, but there are other photographers that would rather take pictures of people that are dying. I must say I support them first.
As sad and true as the fact that you state is people have been dying since our inception mostly by the hands of other human beings. People have choices people have options people have resources people have friends families and voices.
Dogs do not have these luxuries all they have is us. If we don't help them who will?
i agree with you frazz, dont let anybody tell you what you are doing should be second to anything else. youre an amazing person with an amazing dream!
oops, that comment up there was actually fom me. it logged in as my husband, who also voted for you, cause he also believes its a good cause!
Good luck Joe, A zootooer and fan of this dream, Best of Luck
I hope you win!!!
What an assignment and mission. Win man, Win
Joe, people who live out their dream -do- make a difference in this world. Such a noble cause ... best wishes and hope you win!
I am so glad you thought of this great idea! There is a new enlightenment about the great value of companion pets going on in the U.S., and people like you and Richard Thompson are great contributors. My very best GOOD LUCK to you!
Great idea!!! Good Luck!!!
This is a wonderful thing. I believe that with everything that is going on these days, people are forgetting about our 4 legged friends. Don't forget the animals, they are always there for us when we need them.
Here's your vote from a Central Missouri Humane Society supporter. It's a great idea and I hope you not only win but you get your story/mission and your photography on television media as well.
Good Luck!!!! from CMHS
Joe, I received the discussion from zootoo's humane society of the nature coast to vote for you. I wish you the best and hope you receive this opportunity. We'd love to keep up on how things go. Good luck! Jackie Wood
This is a terrific dream! Hopefully we can make it happen for you. Good Luck Joe!
Good luck Joe. We adopted Weaver.
This is an awesome idea....Best Of Luck!!:)
Hope you win, Joe! You should blog somewhere so we can virtually take this trip with you!
Believing in the greater good and dreaming of a day that the needless killing of adoptable dogs ends... May you win your Dream Assignment!!!! I believe in you & your vision Joe... For the Animals!!!
Best of luck to you Joe!:)
great idea!
if you voted for this idea, vote for Project Moo Moo Meow too!
together, we can move animal rights into the top 10 :)
thanks for your support,
project mmm
I really find it a bit rude, to post your own agendas to someone else's comment lines..
These comments are for Joe and not for you to self promote your projects.
People have a little class, please..
I saw the link on ZooToo, The Humane Society of the Nature Coast, Brooksville, FL. This is another great effort and deserves support, I'm sure you'll make many friends along the way and help raise more awareness for these shelters and the needs of the animals. Good luck. Keep us posted.
Good Luck from another zootooer....Dennis
Good Luck Joe, from a fellow ZooToo member! It's ideas like this that make me so happy I joined!!
Good luck! I hope you win!!!
Good luck! Nothing more noble than helping animals.
Good luck and keep us fellow zootooers posted on how you are doing. When you win be sure to visit Safe Haven on Iowa County for some great photo ops.
GO JOE! Pls get the message out to EVERYONE to SPAY/NEUTER THEIR PETS & NEVER BUY A DOG OR CAT FROM PET STORES USING PUPPY/KITTEN MILLS! I champion your cause every step of the way~ please post your dream on the following website for support! http://www.dailychallenge.org GOOD LUCK!!
Sorry it took so long for my vote....crazy lately...but we are here :)
Go Joe!!!! (fan of A Place To Bark)
Thank you for sharing your dream. As for the guy who'd rather see dying people, dude we are human, we have a voice, the animals don't. light and love- I hope you win-amanda
Joe,
may your dream come true! Go...Go....Go...
Good luck - this would be great to see when you're done! I'm another vote from the Humane Society of the Nature Coast - Zootoo. If you win - please post there so we can keep up with your progress.
I voted.. good luck!
WOOOHOOOO this is awesome!!
Fantastic concept, wonderful imagination-capturing name....hope you are given the opportunity to execute your dream assignment.
If you don't win you should still contact ASPCA or Betty White or some Nonprofit and get this going. What a great idea!!!
This is a fantastic idea Joe. I'm not only crossing my fingers for you, but I'm telling my friends to come vote too!
Sandy - Fiskateer #1781
