I will take a contrarian view and praise the images of the boot and firework. Original in concept and shows something special about the festival vis a vis most other festivals. Advice? Get closer and engage the folks; with the advent of cell phone images most people are not spooked by having their picture taken. As Ted and Tina prove, if you stick with the shooting pretty soon most people forget that you are even around. So at first, you feel like you are wearing a bright red National Geo vest drawing stares at you but as you keep shooting you become just another bit of distraction to be ignored.
