This was the last book published by Mary Ellen Mark, an American photographer, before her death in 2015. It contains portraits of different individuals in her unique style. Her images capture her subjects both unaware of her presence as a photographer and staring into the heart of her lens. They contain everything from children living in poverty to street performers to loving families. Her images are united by a common theme of emotion. Whether it be through the thousand yard stare of young sisters or through the smile a mother gives her son as she pulls him from a bathtub, Mark had an incredible ability to transform the mundane into the incredible and the incredible into the spectacular.
