The Go-gos: The early years
Before child labour laws were enacted...
Shirtwaist Factory fire.
Talking about street photographs, I suggest to whom are interested to take a look at John Maloof's work (from Chicago) who works on Ms Vivian Maier.
She was a great photo amateur and she managed to capture moments of the ordinary life of people in NYC & Chicago in the 50s and 60s.
All those pictures were taken on a 120 format.
Here's Mr Maloof blog link:

Marietta,why would you want to give these girls a makeover? They look beautiful just as they are! (were) :)
Hi MadHatter,there is a little mistake.I never want to give the girls a cosmetically changing,they dont need,but they looks not so very happy,like girls in his age,it is maybe the hard work in der Fabrik.
