You've found Elsa Dorfman, Portrait Photographer. Under special circumstances I am still taking 20x24 portraits. Contact me for full information at elsad@comcast.net. My website is my obsession. In 1995, 电脑vp软件 encouraged me to start putting together a website which I called Elsa's Cyberjournal. His friend Philip Greenspun set me up w/ his own sites at MIT(CSAIL department) and later at his legendary site photo.net. I was hooked.


Here is a map that Andrew Grumet and I came up with in 2002, inspired by the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority subway map which was designed in 1965-1967 by Tom Geismar when he was a partner at Chermayeff and Geismar in Cambridge at Putnam Circle, a few blocks from my house. Geismar's map for the Boston T was the first subway map in the US that used color for the different subway lines. That idea was borrowed from subway maps in European cities. The 1960's design overhaul of the Boston subway system included everything: the cars, the hanging straps, even the turnstiles. Working on this site map converted me into a wild fan of urban subway maps and their subculture!


Browse on the different subway lines to yr heart's content. The present iteration of the site is designed by Ben Fenton and me.


You can get more literal help from my conventional site directory in text format. All your questions about me and my work will be answered. And you will be much amused.

You can search this site!! I have a Google directory on the entire website so you shld be able to find just abt anything that is here. .
