Runaway Girls on Pike Street,
Mary Ellen Mark
Seattle, Washington, 1983
This photo is of two girls sitting on the street, with, at first glance, melancholic expression on their faces. One girl looks to something beyond the photo, the other, lays her head on her knees as she looks at the camera. Other than a blanket or sweater, the only belongings they seem to have are a couple of flowers. Considering the title of the photograph, they seem to be on the run, maybe from something or someone. There is no explicit relation between the girls.
