Mary Ellen Mark at Book Soup
by chris cunningham
Mary Ellen Mark was in L.A. tonight to present and talk about her new book. Seen Behind the Scene. It’s a compilation of images she has taken as a Unit Stills Photographer over the last 40 years. There’s a list of maybe 50 photographers with real name recognition. Top of the heap is probably Ansel Adams and then maybe Annie Leibovitz, but somewhere in there lies Mary Ellen Mark.
I tried to take my best Mary Ellen Mark type photo above. It was the least blurry photo I shot so I failed on technique, but she did write in my book… “Film Forever”. Which is exactly what I used, so I got an “A” for effort.
maybe she was talking about ‘film’ as in ‘movie’ not film as in ‘only 36 exposures and no lcd review of blurry shots’
Pixels Forever. ;)
