Notes: Photographs compiled and printed by Schmid from discarded negatives he found in two squares and a public park during three visits to Belo Horizonte, Brazil. "Originally these portraits were taken for various administrative purposes, identity cards, driving licenses, and so on ... They [the photographers] were called 'lambe-lambe' [lick-lick] phtographers, presumably because of their habit of licking the negatives before making contact prints."--Second page of text.
