Portraits of Your Neighbourhood
With Portraits of Winnipeg by Robert Sweeney it was impossible to adequately represent all of the architectural gems found in Winnipeg's and Manitoba's urban and rural landscapes. To bring the richness of Manitoba's architectural heritage to light, Turnstone Press is holding a photo contest.
We are asking everyone across the province of Manitoba, from Altona to Thompson, in any town or city to submit a picture of a favourite building in their community and tell us why it is so special. On February 14th, 2012 we will hold a random draw from the submitted pictures to select the winner of a limited edition print from the Portraits of Winnipeg Series and a signed copy of Portraits of Winnipeg (approx retail value $220).
For contest details and to submit your photo, please visit www.turnstonepress.com

Bandit: A Portrait of Ken Leishman
In the spring of 1966 Ken Leishman stepped onto the tarmac of the Winnipeg Airport and into the pages of Canadian history. By then, the mastermind behind the country’s largest gold heist had already gained Dillingeresque notoriety as a gentlemanly bank robber. Toronto headlines had spread the news about the brazen and polite ‘Flying Bandit’. This time, he almost got away. Almost.
