It turns out that David Turnley (Peter's identical twin brother, and similarly accomplished, and similarly gifted, as a photographer) is also having a print sale right now. This is not a TOP sale; it's something David and Rachel do every year at this time.
The prints are Epson inkjet prints and the prices are $500 for a 12x16" and $600 for a 16x20.
And (this was very kind of David and Rachel), if you say in the dropdown menu right above the "Buy" button that you heard about the sale on TOP, they'll donate a bit to me to help keep the lights on at good old TOP.
There are 41 choices.
David's a very fine photographer. At the least, exercise your taste—go to the Website and pick your three favorites. Even if you're not going to buy one, which ones would you buy if you were going to buy? Tough, isn't it?
Or better yet, buy one. (Would it be too weird for me to use my profits from Peter's sale to buy one of David's prints? I'd have a very hard time choosing, except that #12 is a "deep favorite" for me for reasons I don't fully consciously understand.)
I'm not certain if these prints are signed. I'll ask and report back. [UPDATE—yes, the prints are signed.]
Mike
(Thanks to Rachel)

Mike replies: Yes, that's one of David's best.
Hugh Smith: "These are the times I wish I were richer than I am in $$. The Turnley brothers are indeed powerfully creative. Love every image. I have French Kiss and still enjoy thumbing through it. Now I have to drool over David's work! Damn! Mi dos pesos."
jean-louis salvignol: "Peter and David: deux vrais parisiens."

I like them all but my favorites are #10, #38, #5. in that order. It's the pictorialist in me!
Thanks for showing them. Ernest Theisen

Sheet. I don't want to create a family problem here, but as much as I love Peter's photographs, I am much more inclined to buy one of David's....

I agree about #12, #17 is really cute and funny and #38 is wonderful even with the tilted horizon, it probably wouldn't work straightened out. There are a lot of other prints there I would love to have in a book, but hanging portraits of strangers on the my wall seems strange somehow.

Thanks so much for turning me on to David's work. I always wondered who the look-alike was in some shots of Peter!
Pulitzer prize?! Holy cow! That's just one rung down from getting elected pope...
