A Corner of Space and Time: Lee Nye s Eddie s Club Portraits, a book of photography and stories celebrating beloved photographer and bartender Lee Nye, as well as the men and women who became his subjects and his friends.
About Jean, Ben, and Aaron:
A new book illuminates the haunting black-and-white portraits that have captured the eyes of visitors to a legendary Missoula bar for decades.
âA Corner of Space and Time: Lee Nyeâs Eddieâs Club Portraitsâ presents the stories and frames the art in a way thatâs equal parts historic preservation and art book.
Longtime Missoulians likely know a lot already â an art photographer tended bar at whatâs now Charlie Bâs, where he shot portraits of regulars, whether local literary icons or retired blue-collar workers. To younger visitors and recent transplants, it might be limited to even more shorthand.
