I've been remiss in not announcing the date and time of the start of our next 5-day print sale—I've delayed because I've been working hard on a new TOP e-commerce portal and it's not quite ready for prime time yet. (No healthcare.gov jokes, please.)
But come rain or shine, hell or high water, the sale will start this Wednesday, October 30th, at noon Central Time, and end at sundown on Monday, November 4th.
The three beautiful Peter Turnley prints are all from his new book, French Kiss. All were taken with Leicas, one with an M4, one with an M9, and one with an M Monochrom—the latter two using the printing process Peter talked about in our short interview last week.
And there's a nice bit of news: Peter has also decided that as a special favor for TOP readers (that would be you), anyone who buys all three prints will get a free signed book. Ain't that nice?
Please stop by here on Wednesday to see the pictures! They're really beautiful. I'll give you a hint—the book's cover picture is one of the three.
Also, on Monday morning (it's Sunday night as I'm writing this), I'll post more of peoples' pictures of their "supertraditional lens sets." (We had a 5-star sports day here in the Midwest and I've been mighty distracted by it, and goldbricking, if anyone remembers that word.)

Joseph Bayot: "What if we already ordered a book but want to get all three prints now?"
Mike replies: After you order your three prints, you can just send Peter an email and ask him to cancel your earlier order. I'll have this information in the sale announcement as well.
Hi,
Great site!
When setting up your e-commerce site, please allow drop shipping. I am currently working out of the country and my billing address does not match my shipping address.
Thanks,
Don McGinlay

Spoiler alert! I believe the cover photo was the one shot with the M Monochrom. Last May, during one of Peter's workshop, my wife, Andi, our classmates, and I were walking with Peter on the way from his apartment to a bistro for dinner. It was pouring down rain, but of course we were all shooting street photos along the way. Peter called to Andi and me to come take a look at a photo he had just made, which he showed us on the back of his Leica. I'm pretty sure the cover photo is one he showed us that evening.
By the way, I found out about the class via TOP and am very glad to have attended. Highly recommended!
