The Single In January book planning is in full swing. There are more people than I realized who will be a part of it. So far, we've had 23 people respond in the affirmative and I suspect we may get a couple more stragglers. Giving everyone a 2 page spread and planning the extra pages for copyright, title info and other stuff the book should be in the range of 60-70 pages (or so). Because the images are all different orientations and aspect ratios we are best served by a square format book. The pages of the book are 7 inches square so you really can't comfortably put more than one image on a page. While I am sure everyone would like to show off more of their own work, we will only be able to do 2 shots a piece.
Less is more they say, so choose wisely and focus on what 2 images say the most.
While I was planning out what would go inside the book, I also remembered that we can display 2 additional shots ON THE OUTSIDE. So have a look through your work from the month and if you have one that you think would work well for the front cover or the back cover, add them to this thread and after we'll have a poll this weekend to select the images for the cover. Then you can get down to selecting which 2 shots you want for the inside. I know some of you have already chosen 4 and I apologize that you'll have to eliminate 2 more, but for size and price (buying a $100 book really cuts into gear money) the cuts are necessary.
