Paul Schiek
Limited edition photography books are enjoying a beautiful, quiet revival right now, due in large part to Jason Fulford of JL Press in Atlanta. Paul Schiek, whose photographs are on view at Newspace this month, is also a believer in photography's printed power, and has published three of his own books--Diptych, It Is So Beautiful I Want to Die, and Good By Angels. Newspace , 1632 SE 10th, 963-1935, Through April
