Photographers have walled off the kids from the dancers - allowed to tell them to move
Three guys with long lenses have stepped in front of a row of local kids who have been sitting on this kerb since 4. The kids cannot see. The guys are shooting as if they paid for the road. DIG said don't treat it as a carnival. Do we say something or is that how tourists get in a fight.

The kerb belongs to the people who sat it, especially kids. A long lens does not rent the roadway. Ask once, politely, to crouch or step aside. If they refuse, the nearest officer - DIG yesterday said no seats obstructing devotee pavements and extra Tourist Police are on. Do not snatch a camera.
We were the problem on night one. Night two we shot from behind our own knees. The dancers are in a religious line; they are not a runway.
No flash in elephants' faces, no walking with the casket, no shoving kids. That was already the brief. Tonight just enforce it on the people who ignored it.
