I can't imagine being closed up in his truck working on photos all afternoon. ( I would think maybe the shows would at least give him power as they got a cut of the photos he sold) So maybe he did have a fan and the red safety light in his wooden work room, mounted on a truck. Took the photos in the morning, developed the prints and tacked the contact print on the back door of his truck to keep track of who ordered prints of the group shots. He would take a pencil and push a hole through your image to know who had ordered and paid for one of his photos. I have several of these along with a few that the newspaper stuck to when he got in a hurry in his truck.<br />I guess when he did the MSQ photos, he would take it all back to his office to process and take oders during the weeks of the engagment. p.j.4pawfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11796348302142927741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8897242.post-10213938256566695782015-08-30T18:05:21.593-04:002015-08-30T18:05:21.593-04:00Billboard used to have ads for these mug joint out...Billboard used to have ads for these mug joint outfits.

You had to develop a 12 by 20 inch film negative and then make a contact print and then develop it through 4 plus large developing trays all in the dark or a red safety lite.<br />Those were the days.<br />Harry in TexasHarry Kingstonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13362053177536772325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8897242.post-1990909435032651702015-08-30T15:41:24.434-04:002015-08-30T15:41:24.434-04:00Mug joints used a direct (no negative) process, li...Mug joints used a direct (no negative) process, like those machines that used to be in the dime stores.
