angry for some reason

Possibly a little impatient with posing in an awkward position for the photographer?

This wasnt in the job description!

She's concentrating!

The logo :O

If I didn't know better, this might almost be a screen grab from the first Alien film... great blueish highlights, stretched mids and crushed lows...

Clone hairstyles of the 40's

With so many men of working age overseas, this was the first time American women could actually get well-paying factory jobs like this. Sadly it wasn't to last when the war was over.

I love the contrast here between what looks like a typical 1940s housewife and the cold hard steel of military technology. Very nice.

El enfoque de esta fotografía me recuerda a algunos de los cuadros de Mauritz Escher. Secuencia, sumatoria, sensación de infinito.
