Well if everyone has a unique legitimate phobia and you don't receive any feedback from others with the same phobia, then what is the point of this lame site? Did it occur to you that some people might invent and post bizzare phobias to make fun of those with real ones? And I am quite confident that my phobia sounds absolutely insane and illogical, as well. I just want to crawl away when people bring out the camera for photos because I know that I'll have a stupid or pained expression on my face. And now that digital cameras are so popular, they can keep taking my photo until they get it right....JOY!

That's a great suggestion and one that I had not thought of. In my profession, I work with photographers on a regular basis so maybe I should share my problem...
