As for your question, I just used a text widget on the sidebar and put in the following:
Oops, wordpress took out the html. Here it is, but change the { } to
{p align=”center”}{img src=”http://insert url here”}{/img}
{/p}
I really enjoyed your “framing” with the negative space of the child’s chair in your self-portrait. Overall, you’ve captured some great angles… head, arms, legs and chair.
I hope you continue to trust and follow your unique vision!
