ÒOn assignment for a book, A Day in the Life of the Soviet Union, Mary Ellen Mark visited the Kiev Special School for Blind Children #5 in 1987 and photographed students making daisy chains in the yard. ÔIt was an incredibly beautiful place,Õ she says, ÔVery spiritual, very poetic. I didnÕt think of it as tragic at all.Õ Graduated from the University of Pennsylvania with a degree in art history and painting, Mark, 48, want on to get a masterÕs degree in photojournalism. She has specialized in stories about people on the margins of society-prostitutes, the homeless, the mentally ill. ÔWhen they allow you into the secret corners of their lives, they give you something you can never repay.ÕÓ
