people. 
Does the feeling, mood or meaning of the boots change in the different photographs?  Why? How?
yes: at first it is very peaceful and happy, then there is some sort of a journey or trek, and then it is something very dark and sad. 
What do you think the story is being told in these three photographs?
i think that it represents people being free and happy, and then they were forced to go somewhere (slavery?????) and then someone very important died. or maybe the last photo represents a lot of death.
