Link: Edward Weston, Charis Wilson Documentary

Found out about this documentary tonight. The doc tells the story behind the making of the famous Edward Weston nudes with Charis Wilson. Miss Wilson remembers back to the making of the photos from her youth, she is 90 years old in the documentary. I need to track down a copy of this film somewhere. In this little clip they have Edwards Graflex, which I guess started out as a 3 1/4 x 4 1/4 and eventually became a 4x5 Graflex.
