Summary

Portrait photographer Elsa Dorfman found her medium in 1980: the larger-than-life Polaroid Land 20x24 camera. For the next thirty-five years she captured the surfaces of those who visited her Massachusetts studio: families, Beat poets, rock stars, and Harvard notables. As pictures begins to fade and her retirement looms, Dorfman gives Errol Morris an inside tour of her backyard archive.
