In the late ‘60’s I worked for Bell Labs for a few years managing a data center and developing an ultra high speed information retrieval system. It was the days of beehive hair on the women and big mainframe computers. One day I took a camera to work and shot the pictures below. I had a great staff, mostly women except for the programmers who were all men. For some reason only one of them was around for the pictures that day.

These photos are great, and I love the attention to detail in hair and fashion. What strikes me about some of the women in these photos is that I’m always cold at work, so I can’t really imagine wearing a sleeveless shift dress and not perishing.

Hi, I'm Carissa. I live in Illinois.
I like photography, biology, gadgetry, mid-century modern design, collecting things, wine, and Wes Anderson films.
