I considered a variety of titles, including more grammatically and logically correct versions of True Confessions of Nude Photography. My learned friends debated with me the nuances of meaning in each variation as well as how it might attract readers who would enjoy the book. There was much debate and conjecture without any clear winner. In the end I dismissed all the reasoning and chose the title I just liked best.
