Phobia Project

A. 1. What is a Phobia?
An extreme or irrational fear of or aversion of something.

B. List and define 5 phobias from The Phobia List: http://phobialist.com1. Cryophobia: fear of extreme cold, ice, or frost.
2. Coulrophobia: fear of clowns.
3. Decidophobia: fear of deciding.
4. Dentophobia: fear of dentists.
5. Geliophobia: fear of laughter.

C. Brainstorm on your blog possible ideas for your Phobia photo.
I was thinking I would do Coulrophobia, I have a really good idea of taking a really creepy picture of a clown or clown statue. Maybe my friends would be in it. Melissophobia, find a bee and get an up close picture of it. Maybe one of my friends running away from the bee. Geliophobia, I was thinking an up close photo of people laughing. I'm not afraid of laughter but I think it's a really interesting phobia to take a picture of.

D. What photographic techniques can you use to help highlight your images?

For Coulrophobia I was thinking of finding a clown statue and go underneath it and get a creepy picture from a really weird angle.
Melissophobia, I was thinking a picture of some one running away from a bee.
Geliophobia, I was thinking an obscure picture of some one laughing and taking a picture angled at their face.

It was after World War II when Berlin was split into 5 sections, and many people were leaving the Soviet district.
