Viewing Life From a Safe Distance

Door Stop

A Moment in Photographic History:

United Statesian photojournalist/portraitist Mary Ellen Mark was born March 20, 1940 in Philadelphia.

A Photographic Quote of Note:

The difficulty with color is to go beyond the fact that it’s color – to have it be not just a colorful picture but really be a picture about something. It’s difficult. So often color gets caught up in color, and it becomes merly decorative. Some photographers use [ it ] brilliantly to make visual statements combining color and content; otherwise it is empty. – - – - – Mary Ellen Mark
