Join Evan Smith and KLRU's Texas Monthly Talks for an interview with photographer Mary Ellen Mark. For more than forty years, Mark has traveled extensively, documenting cultures from around the world and across the United States. Mark is a contributing photographer to The New Yorker, and has published portraits and photo essays in LIFE, The New York Times Magazine, Rolling Stone, Vanity Fair and many books of her work. She has mixed time shooting behind-the-scenes shots of movie sets with periods photographing people at the fringes of society and projects that document slices of culture in the U.S. and beyond. Her work has introduced audiences to runaway children in Seattle, brothels in Bombay, small-town Texas rodeos, an Oregon mental institution, a homeless family in Los Angeles, circuses in India and a collection of twins of all ages. Mark is in town to launch the Icons of Photography Lecture series, sponsored by the new Austin Center for Photography.
