Su trabajo se prolongó por más de 40 años. Fue galardonada con innumerables reconocimientos, becas y premios a lo largo de su fructífera carrera. Empleando sus propias palabras, ellas siempre buscó "Fotografiar el mundo tal como es. No hay nada más interesante que la realidad."
La Fotografía perdió ayer a una figura muy admirada, legendaria. Mary Ellen Mark falleció en Manhattan a la edad de 75. A lo largo de su azarosa vida disparó principalmente en blanco y negro y fue la responsable de infinidad de imágenes icónicas de jóvenes sin hogar en Seattle, de artistas circenses, prostitutas en Bomba, enfermos mentales, etc. Cualquiera que fuese el tema elegido por ella, solía estar vinculado con cuestiones sociales.
Acá van algunas de sus fotos,
