Tired of seeing those bored, blank expressions every time you pull out your travel snaps? Do your friends and family run screaming at the mere mention of the word "Slides"?

We have the solution! Send them to us!!

This is the opportunity for all you budding camera jockeys to show us (and the world) what you got! We also believe that pics from real life give the most accurate representation of what the Backpacker sees.

All you have to do is 'attach' the image to an email telling us where and when the pic was taken and we'll do the rest!

If we really like the photo we'll put it in the 'Where to next?' section. You will get credit for taking the photo and be in the running for some really cool freebies. Other photos will go into the Reel Life Gallery.
