Hola folks --

Magnum photographer Mary Ellen Mark is crowd-funding her next book & film
"Streetwise: Tiny Revisited" she wants to go back, thirty years after her
Oscar nominated film and award winning book to document the life of Erin
Blackwell, aka "Tiny" who back in 1983 when Mary Ellen met her, was a 13
year old homeless prostitute living in Seattle. Tiny's a grandmother now,
with ten children of her own.

The backer-rewards go from signed postcards, copies of the book, all the
way up to portrait sessions. It might be the most affordable time to pick
up some of her work and help her make a new book and movie.

I did a blog post about it here:

you can go directly to her Kickstarter page here:

Real photography, real Leicas, really important stuff.



Do you have a favorite Mary Ellen Mark photo?
