Be a good goal to set yourself. Just imaging being there. My goal is far less ambitous, just to return to a job i love. Lets race sèe who wins lol

kev, for some reason I don't remember you saying you were agoraphobic. How long?

Are these pictures taken within your safety zone? I see a future here as a photographer for you.

The pics are great but a photographer as you know needs to travel. Let that be your inspiration

in overcoming your fear of the open spaces. One foot in front of the other, one step at a time.

Let your dreams of getting a professional camera and exploring the most beautiful and serene

places on earth give you the motivation in going forward. Meanwhile, we are happy to see you

using your talents by relaxing our minds with quiet beautiful sunsets from your phone. :)

Thank You Agora

Yeah i am agoraphobic im not sure how long its been thigh but its only when leaving my comfort zones behind wheel or any way of getting there aka train bus it sucks.. its not your average agoraphobia but once I leave my town my mind goes A wall and its scattered and makes me beyond worried and evry little nick or cranny i feel i think its ten times worse (anxiety and panic disorder) its like the moment i leave town im beyond anctions and being in traffic sucks i guess its more of a "if im not in control" i am anxious or freak out i have been doing that so what mind and the breathing and its some what helping practice makes perfect but i find no motivation or courage to go and put myself in the uncomfortable stages -_- we gotta go through in order to grow through...

I hear the fear come through loud and clear in your response kev. I've been there, it took 5 years away from me, but know that you can over come it. It will happen when you are ready. No one can push you (that I found)

Back to your photos. Continue doing that, it helps not only you but all of us as well. It's a momentary escape where I can take a breath. Thanks for sharing.
