Mary Ellen Mark, one of my absolute favourite photographers, artists and filmmakers died yesterday at age 75.
Mary and her husband were the ones we created STREETWISE, an emotional, eye opening, documentary where they spent time following the lives of Seattle's street kids. Mary laid out issues such as homelessness, drug abuse, mental health, prostitution, and suicide, all while showing their vulnerability and right to be loved.
Mad love for all the fallen female photographers such as Dorothea Lange, Diane Arbus, and Nan Goldin, but real happy we still got Sally Mann, & Annie Leibovitz.
