Mary Ellen Mark Photograph Quotations

Im just interested in what makes a photograph.

Looking at my own prom photograph reminds me of how significant that moment was - and how fleeting life is.

During prom season, I travel around the country with a 20-by-24 camera - which is logistically complicated - and photograph proms. My husband made a film of it.

I always wanted to photograph the universal subjects.

A great photograph needs no explanation; it functions by suggestion. There is no need to be explicit.
