It seems that even someone as famous as Mary Ellen Mark has problems making a living doing documentary photography. She has to depend on movie consultations and print sales. It's both discouraging and encouraging at the same time. She mentioned that there are no "Life" Magazines or any other magazines currently featuring photographers' documentary work. There was a letter in our Charlotte Observer asking them to take out the Friday "Life Magazine" insert. They said that the original "Life" contained interesting documentary photographs of ordinary life that we didn't have the opportunity to see otherwise; but the current insert is focused on celebrities and their lives which have nothing to do with ordinary life and which we have plenty of other opportunities to see on almost every television channel, magazine and newspaper. I totally agree. Tina At 07:44 PM 5/31/2005, you wrote: >One of my very, very favorite photographers.
