Agoraphobia - a photo on Flickriver

Agoraphobia

Street candid social landscape taken in Glasgow, Scotland.

I saw this old couple walking slowly, and nervously, towards the busy pavement and couldn't help but feel that they looked both petrified and vulnerable of the crowds that were passing by. I took a higher viewpoint up a couple of steps to emphasise that and went with a square crop to keep the scene tight and claustrophobic - for me it heightened what this old couple appeared to be feeling. I took the shot pretending I was taking a shot down the street and not of them particularly so as not to cause any further distress.
