Street Photographers in Old Tijuana Mexico

The street photographers of Tijuana, Mexico have been taking visitors photos since the beginning of the tourist era. At first they took shots of large groups of "excursionists" standing beside their antique vehicles. The donkey cart soon became the studio prop of choice; at some point circa 1940's they became 'Zebra Donkeys'. The street photographers still offer a unique yet expensive ($20) memento for today's visitors. The cameras in use today are nearly as old as the profession itself. The boundary line also had its photo 'studios' to record the tourists' crossing for a day into a foreign land. Collecting these unique one-off ephemeral photographs is greatly facilitated by Internet auctions such as eBay.com.
