We used to go to Tijuana, Mexico in the early '60s. There was a
photographer who would take your photo with a "zebra" (actually a white
horse with black stripes painted on). He used a view camera and plates he
loaded in a little black tent he reached his hands into, where he also
developed the film and made a contact print. His water source was a pail.
Quite inventive and interesting to watch. I'm also assuming the prints
didn't last long for lack of adequate washing.
