Sad news, the great photographer Mary Ellen Mark has died, she was only 75. Her book "Falkland Road" which deals with brothel life on Falkland Road in Bombay was a huge inspiration for me. She also did a wonderful series of photographs of Seattle street life and a follow updocumentary film called "Street Life". Her work will continue to live on, she touched so many lives in so many ways. After a very good day I feel so down now, goodbye MEM, rest in peace. Thank you so much for the gift of photographs you gave us.
