Challenge: Conquer Your Fears



BOO!

Did I scare you?  Probably not, but I bet something scares you.  Go ahead, share it with all of us.  
Could it be you are afraid of the dark?  Perhaps it is a common fear such as a fear of death or of fire.  Some may have a fear of animals that slither, have horns or are just plainbigger than you.  Many are afraid of going too fast, of thunderstorms and of being watched.  I worry about losing my sight and I swear my boys are afraid of soap and water!

Explore your fear and share it with us.  Make it light; make it serious.  That is up to you.  Please don't do anything dangerous or anything that will cause a panic attack.  This season provides us with lots of opportunities for the obvious like the Spook that Cherish showed us.  I know you are all creative and brave enough to show us the not so obvious.  Try to make the shots new but drag out an old one if it is really appropriate.

Thanks smalltown for a great challenge.  Up next ---- it is a suprise!  Actually I don't have anyone yet, so if you want to volunteer let me know.  If you are afraid of doing a challenge, don't open any PMs from me!

Now, take a deep breath and go shoot!

Update [by kwsNI]:Our next challenge creator will be Candice.

  • Mike H
    Like the way you integrated your photos into the story. As I was readingit, the feeling came over me that I was reading an Alfred Hitchcock movie. Oh!!!! Almost forgot my faves: bigger than you” & going too fast

  • loweho
    Thanks, Smalls for the room challenge I didn't think it had been two weeks yet. I guess I can quit shooting the room now. Peachy, great idea! Great timing also, my greatest fear is wasps and it's cold enough now here I probably can't find any and can avoid facing them. And I'm always scared of opening your PMs!

    This sounds interesting. But like Lowe said it is cold now so I am in trouble with both of mine. I hate spiders and thunderstorms. Maybe I will get a storm but I am afraid it will be snow..... JP I had to LOL at "bigger then you". Great capture.

    Awesome example shots, Peachy!! I'm very impressed!! Now I'll have to do some thinking... one of my personal motto's is "FEAR NOTHING".... but if I dig down deep enough, I bet I can find a few.

    - Always Watching You...


  • Desert Mystic
    I too, will have to dig. I think I've gotten too good at hiding my fears. This is not an easy one.

  • margarita
    Great theme with lots of beautiful shots. My favorite artistically was "my Sight", but my favorite all together was "bigger than you" for that priceless expression!
