    This is off topic, BUT ...

    Mary Ellen Mark photographed the brothels of India.

    Would you ask her to comment on her experience of the sex-slavery issue?

    Could you ask Mary Ellen Mark:

    1) how one gets into set photography now

    and

    2) if it's her set photography that provides her with a living so that she can pursue her personal photographic work?
