I suppose I should stop and comment on this photograph a little.
The encampment was pretty large and spread out around a vast park area. Wandering from camp site to camp site I stumbled upon these young men practicing for a battle demonstration that was to take place later that morning. Usually timid, I screwed up my courage to ask them if I could take their photo. Imagine my surprise when they said yes and asked where I wanted them to pose. Quickly pointing to a park bench they climbed on and set themselves up just as if they'd posed like this all the time. I moved them around just a little, snapped a couple photos and prayed that I'd get the development right. All this is not immediately evident when looking at the photo, which is why I wanted to share the story about how this has become one of my favorite images. It still "hooks" me, even after all these 30+ years.
In 1995 I visited an American Civil War reenactment with a Mamiya C220 with 80mm f/2.8 and Ilford FP4Plus souped in Kodak D76. It was a nice setup and I really enjoyed photographing people in their various camps.

So, I was out on one of my usual lunchtime beats which included Cornmarket, a place lively at mid-day with street performers. I could see that Max Moonlight was drawing a crowd, and then I happened to notice these two women sitting in the doorway of the recently-closed The Works storefront, just opposite the performance. In camp chairs. With thermoses. And by their expressions, it was clear that they weren't sitting there for the solo-guitar show.
This is Ching Yu and her sister. I approached them and asked about a possible photograph. "Why, do we look interesting to you?" she asked. I observe life on Cornmarket frequently, and I assured her their presence in a locked doorway, seated in camp chairs, was not a usual sight. She smiled and agreed to the photograph, and explained that they were watching their vending booth. It was closed, now, but had been set up in front of St Michael at the Northgate, across the street, and they were awaiting pending word from the city council. Even though licensed, they were somehow shut down on a complaint issued by the gift shop within St Michael. I am happy to report that Ching and family had their business back up and running within a few weeks.
