Anyone got any phobias? Stories of crazy people? "Friends" with issues?
Ever run into people who refuse to have their picture taken? You hear about this shit happening in ye olden days where knowledge was a privilege afforded only to the gentry and the dandy. But to think that in this day and age there are still people who have an irrational fear of having their soul "stolen" is hilarious.
Other phobias have basis in trauma--which,you know makes sense and shit, but PHOTOGRAPHY? Did a Canon POWERSHOT rape your dad?
Maybe it's religion based! Now, I'm not one to bash on someone's religion--unless of course it's one of those SLIGHT AGAINST GOD RELIGIONS like Voodoo. They got this belief that pictures can be used as a medium for curses and other occult shenanigans. But I don't think Voodoo is too prevalent in NORTH AMERICA. And the other FEAR OF PHOTO religions are even less common.
So what gives?
