Okay, I am sort of new to digital cameras....

I am not at all sure how to sharpen this image, but this is a start.

Below are some snaps taken on Crane's Beach this weekend where I lounged and ate strawberries with [profile] martha_m
The self-portraits were basically me pointing the camera at myself blindly and clicking.  I need to find a better method--this one resulted in me having to delete dozens of shots of my shoulder (I kept a few since they made my shoulders look cute).

Picture taking advice is welcome!

I read it quite a long time ago and would love to reread it.

Old stage actors of the 19th and early 20th centuries? Let me know what you have found that is good. I would love to find good biographies of Sarah Bernhardt, Lily Langtry, Ellen Terry, etc.

If you like Colette (somehow I suspect you do...), you might like Secrets of the Flesh by Judith Thurman. I feel though as you do about Millay's biographies when it comes to Colette-- nobody writes better about her than she does herself. Who needs anything else? Still, Thurman's book is quite good.
