Mary Ellen Mark has won many photography awards for her careful documentarian eye, such as the 2014 Lifetime Achievement in Photography Award from the George Eastman House. She is well known for her book "Streetwise", which follows Seattle's homeless youth. Her husband Martin Bell made it into a successful film by the same name. As with "Streetwise", her book is married with her husband's film "Prom" which is present as a DVD in this book. The couple's project documents prom night across the same thirteen schools Mark visited for her photos, featuring a young army recruit, people of color, goths, and cancer patients.
