Frifotos

This summer, on a cross-country road trip, I finally made it to Marfa, Texas, a town of about 3,000 in the middle of nowhere in arid West Texas.

When I hear the word exotic, I think of spices, colors and experiences that just aren't generally available within the border of my own country.

I've always though myself an adventurous person, one who appreciates the great outdoors and who would never hesitate to jump out of a plane at first chance.

Dogs aren't referred to as Man's Best Friend for no reason. Now, when I can between trips, I look for opportunities to dog-sit and spend time with my best friend's dog.

Where are you kissing the old goodbye and waving hello to the new?

This is the travel image I took this year that received the most positive and loud feedback from friends, family and fans. Now I'd like to see your photo of the year.

The city of London, during the holidays, is aglow with festive lights and decorations from Heathrow to Dartford.

In New York City, yellow is as synonymous with taxi cabs as it is with school buses anywhere else.

I remember the first place I ever viewed the line of buildings which make up Manhattan. It was in Dumbo at the small beach near the Manhattan Bridge.

Fall in London is a thing of beauty because wherever there is a tree in the midst of its seasonal change there is a break to the gray which typically blankets Britain in November. Today, I am grateful for every leaf.

In Northville, Michigan, Halloween is a competitive sport and perhaps the most important holiday of the year.

I doubt the hosts of Twitter's #FriFotos had rock and roll icons on their minds, so instead here's an image from New Orleans, a city with wonderful doors.

In my travels I've met many women going through treatment, celebrating having just completed treatment or marking a cancer-free milestone. Most of these encounters have been in a tropical place proving I'm not alone in my love for a beach.

Its initial goal was to start the weekend early with an online photo swap. Now, FriFotos has become a Twitter phenomenon featured in major news media and a nearly round-the-clock discussion on the social media site.

It's a capitol, yes, but it makes the capital.

I've trodden my fair share of roads by foot, bicycle and rusted-out van. The ones I've driven, windows down, music blasted -- perhaps "Born to Run" eaten up quickly by the wind -- have meant the most to me.

This week's theme is light, and a nighttime photograph of the Eiffel Tower seems a natural fit.

I have always been drawn to ancient cultures and civilizations, so when I travel, I love visiting places that take me back in time.

"Luxury" most often conjures up images of five-star dining experiences and plush surroundings, but there may be a better definition when it comes to travel.

We need the light at the end of the day to highlight the things which were hiding, right under our noses.

A clever use of reflection at the Imperial Palace in Innsbruck leads to awe-inspiring photographs.
