Capturing the soul/essence of "a town" does not necessarily mean it has to be "NICE" or "beautiful" A photo-journalist is looking to get "news worthy" images and this could include the dark side of town...those sights that are RARELY seen or most people don't know about! But I guess, it would depend on the "assignment", as local events and historical type stuff would be considered "news" at time as well!

I think Doug made a GREAT point too...we do see ALOT of town type images already! If this does get chosen, it would be NEW images taken in December! Not pulling stuff out of your archives and doing a bit of postwork! (this actually goes for ANY challenge we do! - Just a friendly reminder!)

On that note...my pick for December is Alphabet Soup! (Its just been hangin there waiting to be picked for SO LONG!) I think this one will challenge us to see/look at things in a different way!
