December 2011 Challenge "Book Titles"

Post Tue Nov 01, 2011 3:29 pm


The challenge is this month to have an image taken in December only for this challenge for a book title!!

There are plenty of titles to choose from. You can add the title to the photograph with like with Photoshop or many will use quotations from literature as the title for their works, or just add the book title!
