As you told us, "Precipitation" was a print a lot of people wanted. We're extremely pleased with the success of the sale. A huge thank you to everyone who purchased a print as well as to those who helped spread the word.
Orders will begin shipping by the middle of next week, on a first-in, first-out basis. Delivery time from then will depend on distance from Philadelphia and what day you placed your order. We anticipate that all U.S. orders will be delivered by October 30th, some sooner than that, with international orders taking up to 14 days longer. Again, many will not take that long.
REMEMBER, we will replace prints that go missing or are damaged in shipping. You are covered, so not to worry. We have run many sales and we're aware that sometimes "things happen," and we know about how often they do. So Gordon Lewis will be having a number of "emergency extra" prints made to cover such "foreseen unforseeables." If a print goes missing in the mail or is damaged on arrival, we will replace it.
You can contact Gordon Lewis or you can contact me if there are any problems.
As we always do, we will announce here on TOP when the prints begin shipping, as well as when they have all been shipped.
Thanks again to you! I hope you love your print and enjoy it for many years.
Mike
UPDATE from Gordon: I would like to express sincere thanks and gratitude to all who ordered a print of Precipitation. I know all too well that there are countless things in this world of ours competing for your time and money. The fact that you would be so interested in this particular one is not something I take for granted and for which I am truly humbled. I will begin shipping the print as soon as they are ready and guarantee that if you liked it as a JPEG, you will love it as a print.
P.S. I would love to have one more print sale before Christmas but I have nothing in the pipeline. I'll keep thinking on it.
P.P.S. B&H Photo is closed for Succos right now, but yesterday when I mentioned the Sony A6500 I should have thanked B&H for the loaner. Re the Curse of the Loaner Cameras, it's rainy with leaden dull gray skies again here today...gulp!

"Nothing in the pipeline"?
Maybe "Best Photo From A Moving And/Or Stationary Hoffman, If Such A Thing Is In Fact Possible", or best effort.

That's only a curse if you do not live where there are no clouds in the sky for months and months.... and months. I'm never more excited than on a rainy day with lovely soft light gray clouds!

Mike, it is ironic that you are complaining about the rainy weather while having your loaner camera. Let me just emphasize that there is never a bad time to take photographs. Even at high noon, you can find some good bounced light in one nook or the other, and since I live in Los Angeles, the few times it rains here, I get excited about the photographic opportunities. Just pretend you just arrived in your town on a vacation and photograph as you would if that was the case.

" it's rainy with leaden dull gray skies again here today.." means that there's soft light everywhere, water drops, clean slick wet surfaces... If there aren't some interesting rainy day photos to be had, you're just not looking hard enough.,
