Maybe I shouldn’t have used the word anxiety. My wife has an anxiety disorder so I shouldn’t use that term lightly.

However, giant crowds around photographic events totally sucks the joy out of it for me. Jockeying for position is not enjoyable. Also, people have no etiquette these days. You can get you shot set up hours before the crowd shows up and then a literal bus load of people pop out and stand right in front of you.

Have you ever been to something like this or are you just talking out of your ass? It is a fucking zoo and it sucks.

I’d love to photograph this some day but the crowds give me anxiety. How did you manage all of the people?
