Doin' 'selfies' the old-school way...


This classic photo captures a bit of what life was like in Manhattan inthe 50's, featuring people at a vintage photo booth. The women are wearing classic 1950s attire, including a full-skirted dress with a cinched waist and a two-piece skirt set. The booth offers "4 poses" for "25 cents" with photos "ready in 2 minutes". The photograph was taken in April 1954 in Manhattan by photographer Frank Oscar Larson.  The photo was discovered decades later among a collection of negatives in an attic.
