There was a person up there who was getting shots of people with an 8x10 Arca-Swiss slim line, one or two exposures at a time. He was set up on the sidewalk, no backdrop, just a camera on a tripod. He would ask people as they went by if they wanted to have a portrait taken. He was quick. Quicker then a view-camera donkey cart photographer in Tijuana.
