This weeks #Frifotos is #love, my all-time favorite subject. I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to let my inner hippie hang out a little. While jamming out to The Cure’s “It’s Friday i’m in #love”, I spent the morning scrolling through a few thousand photos to pick a few that represent the #love in my life.

AVAM – American Visionary Art Museum in Baltimore, MD
Adjacent to Baltimore’s Inner Harbor is a gem of a place called the American Visionary Art Museum. The building itself is hard to miss and immediately grabs your attention as you make your way around the harbor. The AVAM promotes Visionary Artists. What is visionary art? Well…the museum’s mission statement says that “Visionary art as defined for the purposes of the American Visionary Art Museum refers to art produced by self-taught individuals, usually without formal training, whose works arise from an innate personal vision that revels foremost in the creative act itself.” In other words, “passionate people doing things that create a fire in their soul”. This museum quickly turned out to be my all-time favorite art museum to date. The works were raw and titillated all of my senses. Everything in the building (and it’s outskirts) was so colorful and catching to the eye. The AVAM is a Baltimore staple, a “must-see” attraction. Don’t miss it!

CoBo Sushi Bistro and Bar in the heart of Boone, North Carolina
In the heart of downtown Boone in North Carolina is a culinary hidden gem called CoBo Sushi. Opened in May of 2013, CoBo was started by Joseph Miller who is also the head chef. Joseph lived in Steamboat Springs, CO for 5 years learning and apprenticing under multiple accomplished sushi chefs. Upon returning to his home town, he brought his passion here to fill a void the downtown area of Boone has had for a long time. In homage to his Colorado training, he named the restaurant CoBo (Colorado/Boone).
