I’d love to photograph this some day but the crowds give me anxiety. How did you manage all of the people?

A slight nudge in the back when they're close to the edge usually does the trick.

This blows my mind when I hear this. That's like a diabetic saying I can't eat food because I have diabetes. Take your meds and get treatment

Maybe I shouldn’t have used the word anxiety. My wife has an anxiety disorder so I shouldn’t use that term lightly.

However, giant crowds around photographic events totally sucks the joy out of it for me. Jockeying for position is not enjoyable. Also, people have no etiquette these days. You can get you shot set up hours before the crowd shows up and then a literal bus load of people pop out and stand right in front of you.

Have you ever been to something like this or are you just talking out of your ass? It is a fucking zoo and it sucks.

Have been to several. Just tell them you have been there for hours and make them feel guilty
