I realize not everyone in our audience celebrates the 4th of July (American Independence Day), when we, with the essential aid of the French, and possibly a little assist from the madness of King George, shook off the yoke of colonial Britain—which a lot of us didn't want to shake off the yoke of. (Did you know that? Fewer than half of the residents of the Thirteen Colonies were revolutionaries on this day in 1776. More were Tories, loyalists to the crown. But they tended to keep quiet about it. And many quietly switched sides when it became expedient. And some went back to England, or sent their children back.) (I'm hoping to get some history lectures in the Comments.)
Anyway, before I get too far down that track: TOP will be closed for a few days for the holiday.
Coming up just after, the July Print Offer. In response to requests, it will be a completely different sort of image for us, and it's a two-digit (sub-$100) sale as well. A picture I love, and that longtime readers have seen before. And it's a TOP reader's picture, too.
Speaking of readers' pictures: also when I get back, I'll be sending a letter to all the buyers of Phil Rosenberg's Keck Observatory print about the contest they can enter to win a week at a Hawaiian villa and have their own picture in a Print Offer. (I'll be asking for 1–3 guide or proof prints not to exceed 8.5x11" in size if you want to start thinking about it.)
Also this coming month, I could well have some Blog Notes about the new TOP, which is coming along, and possibly about the new Johnston family digs, which will have a larger office and will thus have to be known as [Slightly More] Sprawling TOP World Headquarters. (It means I won't be able to enjoy this new road, but then, I always use the alley anyway.)
In the meantime, please keep the comments about the cameras coming. I'm finding them very enjoyable to read, and informative.
See you in a few days, and, if it applies, have a nice and safe Fourth! Send me a picture, and I'll publish a few.
