Michaelson is the subject of the forthcoming documentary film, "American Mugshot," which will be released this fall. He co-authored the now out-of-print book, Least Wanted: A Century of American Mugshots (Stedl, 2009), in conjunction with an exhibition of select pictures from his collection at the Steven Kasher Gallery. Mark's epic archive, which is accessible on his Flickr stream, has connected him with artists and aficionados around the globe.
