First things first, I’m blogging this week over at www.switchfocusblog.com!

{personal/portraits} the self portrait friday debacle

In case you were wondering…
Yes, I am still doing Self Portrait Friday.
But yes, I haven’t posted in WEEKS.
And since I feel like such a bad McBlogger, starting this Friday I’m dedicating the weekend a Self Portait Friday marathon of sorts. Warning: it shall be epic.
