Brianna Cristiano submits Mary Ellen Mark

Mary Ellen Mark has many books, exhibitions and editorial magazine work. She has photographed celeberties and traveled the world. I find her most interesting images to be the ones at the circus. The photograph above is of the mexican circus. I just found it ironic that people see clowns as either scary or funny and this little girl seems either sad or bored. Though none of the people in her work look happy they all look depressed and like they dont want to be doing what they are doing. I think she was also trying to show the lifestyles of families in the circus and how it has an affect on their character and energy. Here is the link to her website
