Drawn from Lola Schnabel's notebooks and Polaroids, these images possess a febrile and precocious imagination. Her drawings, layers of pencil and paint sketches over crumpled, stained iconic imagery, are tough, naive, and verging on the pathological, where her photographs are softer and dreamlike, featuring her family and friends through blurred light-saturated compositions and the ocasional overpainting.

Horses as partners, as teachers, as fellow travelers asking no favors and returning respect for respect. The horse is good. These images by Viggo Mortensen are from Morocco, South Dakota, Montana, California, Iceland, New Zealand, Denmark, Brazil, Argentina, and perhaps from the view out your window. As Joseph Campbell put it, "Once having traversed the threshold, the hero moves in a dream landscape of curiously fluid, ambiguous forms, where he must survive a succession of trials." The horse as hero.Hardcover, 7.5 x 10.5 inches, 80 pages

Horse is God

The actor who played Aragorn in the "Lord of the Rings" film epic and a part-time photographer celebrates the horse through a series of images that depict them as partners, travel companions, and teachers.

History & Criticism

The images in this book are of murder sites. They are about absence: what's not there, what has happened there, what might still happen there, what lies just around the corner, over the horizon, on the other side of the road. They are about possibility, loss, death, pain, passion, and they are also about hope. The interviews that accompany them are personal accounts-memories, thoughts, and feelings about the six journalists who lost their lives in these places-from those who knew them, worked with them, loved them, admired them, and needed them. The six murders addressed here are, unfortunately, a very small representation of the multitude of journalists-not only in Russia, but worldwide-who have had their lives taken from them for what they believe in and whose cases remain unsolved. These few speak for many. Alix Lambert's feature length documentary "The Mark of Cain" was nominated for an Independent Spirit Award and aired on Nightline. As an artist Lambert has exhibited her work to international critical acclaim, showing in The Venice Biennale, The Museum of Modern Art, The Georges Pompidou Center, and the Kwangju Biennnale, currently she is exhibiting at the SculptureCenter in New York.

Pictorial

In these beautifully-made photographs, Lindsay Brice's hypersensitive eye leads us onto pathways of the subconscious. As vessels for the imagination, Brice's sometimes disturbing but always suggestive tableaus open channels to our individual and collective memories, seeming to share confidences in a manner as disarming as it is seductive. Her dolls have no visible owners, no masters. They appear, rather, in their often faded and forlorn states, to shape their own narratives - stories that invite our participation. Introduction by Kim Gordon of seminal rock band Sonic Youth. Also, includes Flannery O'Connor's short story "A Temple of the Holy Ghost." Paper over board ISBN 0-9774869-0-7 68pp, 61/4 x 91/4.

David Newsom's SKIP is a moving and highly personal view of the landscape his older brother Lloyd (Skip) Curtis Newsom, Jr. inhabits. The images in this book, tender as they are austere, not only bear witness Skip Interiorto the photographer's appreciation for the natural beauty of a particular corner in South-Eastern Idaho, but also represent his sincere attempt to see that place as his beloved brother does. An attempt to learn, as Skip has, to understand and embrace this harsh new landscape as home. Dying weeds going into autumn, menacing skies, mountains so distant as to appear unreachable, isolated view of phone pole, road sign, new coat, old blue truck, and the snowy path to their sister's yellow house... These images remind us, as Ralph Waldo Emerson did, that "Those who contemplate the beauty of the earth find reserves of strength that will endure as long as life lasts". Paper over board, ISBN 0-9774869-1-5. 40pp, 61/4 x 91/4.
