Agoraphobia.jpg

Alright, the original theme was meant to be agoraphobia but whilst shooting this I have to admit it does look claustrophobic.
Actually, does anyone know the right terminology for the 'fear of shopping'. :))
Sheila came up with this one: Ochlophobia (fear of crowds).

Great contrast and movement! Reminds me of the reason I do all of my shopping online now:) I do like the signs being visible in the background and the one still lady looks as if she is ready to wring your neck:) Nice shot!!

Don't know the corredt terminology - but I wish my wife would contract it !!!!! ( once you get your phD we wont even know what you are talking about) ;-) I try and take calming pictures. I guess we need a counter part .... trust you got photo releases from all these folks...... Fred

I have only left the house ONCE since last Saturday, and that was to go to the beach! No stores and shopping for me this holiday week! I like how you captured the sense of motion.

Oh boy! I'm glad I wasn't there. You are very brave! I like the action of the pic, It really gives you a true feeling of what it felt like there!
Reagrds, Wendy

The distorted faces (even those not blurred!) make this a truly remarkable image.

Maybe it's got something to do with bromidrosiphobia, a fear of body smells???

The term you are looking for is 'mallssuckassophobia'.

I love this shot, btw. Brilliant on many levels. gmv

Thsi is why you don't see me at the mall on Boxing Day!
Great shot,Antidote.The motion blur really adds to the sense of agoraphobia.
