"Streetwise" is a photobook by American female photographer Marie Ellen Mark. Marie Ellen Mark studied painting and history at the University of Pennsylvania and later photojournalism. She has published numerous portrait works focusing on outsiders isolated from the mainstream of society, such as "the sick," "circus performers," and "runaway boys and girls," as well as current events such as "Mother Teresa." Her humanistic works have received high praise worldwide. This book, along with "Ward 81," which focused on women's hospital wards, is considered one of her representative works, a photobook documenting runaway boys and girls in Seattle. It was later made into a film by her husband, film director Martin Bell (Japanese title: "Take Care of the Children"). Through documenting runaway boys and girls in Seattle, which was once said to be the safest city in the United States, the book gets to the heart of the problem and is an ambitious work that embodies the photographer's strong will to curb runaways throughout the country and to extend a helping hand to children.
