Thanks Simon for sharing these. This is history and these pics reflect that atmosphere. I wish I could be there.
Talking about photography, I say it is an art. It does not have to be a pure reflection of ambient conditions you encountered. It can be surreal. It's all good. You could use some tricks in the old days to make pictures look better (it is so subjective anyway), and you can use tricks to improve them nowadays too. Technology made it much easier these days, but in the end, it is the final effect that counts. Whatever you do and however you do it - if you like what you see, it is good. Just my take on it.
