      I’m both excited and sad for August. August is a calmer month around here, but at the same time it marks the transition into fall. I’m going to try and enjoy as much as possible the last days of summer and I hope you do too.

      Here is a little mish-mash of what I’ve read this week. Enjoy!

      • Power Of The Pack: Women Who Support Women Are More Successful.
      • 50 Vogue September Covers Pulled From The Archive.
      • Ladies, please read this! ‘Sorry’ but these are things women should never write in an email.
      • 7 Ways to Find Happiness After Depression.
      • Of Barneys’ Bankruptcy, Pride and the Fall.
      • I am in anticipation of Amazon’s Jack Ryan. I hope we see way more of Matice this time around. I love a good action series. Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan’ season 2.
      • Hillary and Chelsea Clinton co-write The Book of Gutsy Women. Yes, please.
      • I am happy and relieved this is happening! In New TV Series, Jay-Z and Will Smith Will Show the World Through Mamie Till’s Eyes.

      • The house of the first black congressman elected post-reconstruction is for sale. Oscar Stanton De Priest was the sole voice in Congress for 12 million African-Americans. 
      • My current read is this romance novel and I’m enjoying every page!
      • I have to go and see this portrait! National Portrait Gallery to acquire landmark Beyoncé photograph.
      • How fun! Top ten libraries in fiction.

    • Lessons learned from my Photography Project

      Lessons Learned

      I learned a few lessons during my week of taking photographs around town.

      1. Photography is not easy.
      2. When I thought I captured a great image, more often than not it was a poor image.
      3. If I took 30 shots, I was lucky if at least one turned out fine.
      4. Practice and repetition is key.
      5. Taking the same shot from different angles is important.
      6. Natural light is everything.

      My Next Steps

      I’m going back to reading books and writing books (and writing about books), but I’m not giving up on photography.

      1. I’ve been watching Fundamentals of Photography by the Great Courses Plus. If you don’t have Great Courses Plus, I highly recommend it. You can take courses (without homework!!) on any subject imaginable (writing, cooking, photography, history, law…) taught by preeminent scholars, lecturers and experts. I’m also watching A History of Eastern Europe (fascinating!!). If you already have Amazon Prime, then Great Courses Plus is only $7.99 a month, but you get a month for free to try it out.
      2. I will keep taking photographs, but I will spare you any more of my mediocre pictures.

      How did you learn your photography skills? Do you have any lessons to share?

      xoxo, Jane

    • Pretty City London and my photography project

      Posted at 3:52 pm by Jane Rosebery, on March 24, 2019

      PrettyCityLondon by Siobhan Ferguson made me dust off my camera!! (I haven’t used it in years. I blame phone cameras.) This book has motivated me to once again explore the world I live in through the lens.

      Unknown.jpegThis is such a fun book to read. And it’s fun to browse through the beautiful photographs of the various London neighborhoods. The book is worth it alone just for the fun and whimsical photographs.

      It’s divided in four sections: Photography Tips, Neighborhoods (Belgravia is my fave), Pretty City London through the Seasons, and Bucket List of Things to Do in Pretty City London.

      I’m really excited to get behind the lens again and I plan on sharing some of my photography in a new series next week! xoxo, Jane

      Today’s (tonight’s) Fortnums advent calendar tea is Earl Grey, my second favorite after Countess Grey. ☕️💕 I can’t remember what my tea drinking life was like before Fortnums. #earlgrey #fortnumstea #fortnums
      A first edition of From Russia with Love costs only $6500. I mean, for me that’s pocket change. 🤪🤣I’ve never read Ian Fleming. Have you?
      Here is a better upload of the most fabulous woman ever!
      Today we did something we don’t often do, we left the 🏡 for a meal. I had the lobster 🦞 ravioli and little doughnuts with Nutella. I shared with my husband because I’m nice like that. Then we went to see President Obama’s portrait at the Smithsonian, which I’ve never seen before. It was wonderful. We also paid a visit to my Queen👸🏽 , Michelle Obama’s portrait.
