SPT: I Resolve

Leave it to Lelly.  Here are the SPT (self-portrait Tuesday) challenges for this month, along with her invitation:

"i love a new year. i love the chance to start over. and i know you do, too!! so, if you've been absent from spt, or if you haven't gotten up the nerve to link up, or if you are lurking and haven't yet picked up that camera, now is the time to come along! how about you make a resolution to join in the fun?"

tuesday, january 6 i resolve to take more self-portraits
tuesday, january 13 i resolve to take more self-portraits with people i love
tuesday, january 20 i resolve to take more self-portraits while trying new things
tuesday, january 27 i resolve to take more self-portraits doing things i enjoy

In line with this self-portrait resolving, I'm making a commitment of my own.  Those who frequent my blog know that I like to post large pictures.  If it fills up the screen, that's fine by me.  But when it comes to spt's, I find myself minimizing every picture as I mentally maximize all of my flaws.  Well, no more of that. 

Margin to margin me:
