Ironic that it also became one of the early CTI's bigger sellers. The meaning of the photo was lost on just about everyone--I remember Turner explaining that he was in a failing relationship. He woke up, saw his ashtray next to the bed and photographed it, feeling it represented his mood at the time.It just didn't matter to the mass public. In fact, I remember people at the time being put off by the A DAY IN THE LIFE cover. "Why am I looking at a close-up of an ashtray?"
