The brilliant photographer, Mary Ellen Mark, died a couple of days ago on May 25. She was one of my many photographer icons.
As did Diane Arbus, Mark photographed people who were "away from mainstream society and toward its more interesting, often troubled fringes". - Andrew Long, "Brilliant Careers: Mary Ellen Mark", Salon, March 28, 2000.
Mark worked as a still photographer on seven Tim Burton movies, including Sleepy Hollow, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Big Fish (maybe my favorite film by Burton) and Alice in Wonderland.

Some of her many gritty images . . .
Seattle Street Kids ~ 1983
Friends Rat, 16 (left), and Mike, 17, have this Colt .45
only for
defense against men who try to pick them up or rob them.
"I get hassled a lot" says Rat. "Mike's my protection."
They picked
Seattle because Mike had once lived there.

Mark once said, "Nowadays shots are created in post-production, on computers. It's not really photography."
