A collection of photographs of the street children of Seattle. Streetwise captures not only the children's' lives on the streets but, in their expressions and mannerisms, the effect of that life on them. Meet Tina, a 13-year-old prostitute with dreams of diamonds and furs; Rat and Mike, 16-year-olds who eat from dumpsters; and Dewayne, a 16-year-old boy who hanged himself in a juvenile facility when faced with the prospect of returning to the streets. --Back Cover.
