Fantastic images, indeed! I can recognize the portables: Corona 3 in its case, Corona 3 (without a case), Remington Portable 2, Underwood 3 bank, and a later model Lettera. But the desktops are a complete mystery to me; the lady in the second image is typing proudly on a blind machine, and the intellectual-looking smoking beauty in the third-to-last picture uses a visible typer; that's all I can tell.
The lady in the fourth photo looks to be smoking a hookah (is that a mouthpiece on the bottom right of the image?). I am curious about the story behind that photo. Music festival? Spring break? Shorts and typewriter enthusiasts meeting?
That makes sense... yet people seem to be over dressed or dressed too conservatively in this photo for an ideal Burning Man experience. The typewriter makes up for that though.

The blind machine is some model of Remington; the smoking beauty is using an Underwood no. 5, I think.

Burning man.

The third one is Carrie Bradshaw 1900.
