Mary Ellen Mark's photographs allow us to experience the joys and pains of the life of street children in Seattle. The text is taken from a film documentary made by Mark and her husband, Martin Bell. "All teenagers plan for unlikely futures--"three yachts or more"--and lifetime lovers, but the children of Pike Street must conduct their dreaming in the presence of expediencies far darker than most Americans can imagine."--John Irving.
