There is no fancy phobia term for fear of escalators...

Well it certainly sounds like the right word for it, if you had to name it! I like the faintest suggestion of a hesitant rider at the bottom.

Love the mirrored steps, the silver/gold, I'm drawn right in!

This view is very interesting, like the perspective and color. Blur works nicely to help with the phobia element.

I like the incorporation of the reflected steps on the shiny chrome sidewalls and the use of a shutter speed just long enough to produce motion blurr but short enough to maintain easy identification of the subject.

The yellow tone combined with the somewhat disorienting motion distortion are just right to evoke some tingles of fear. (Or is it just that I have had to ride BART at night too many times in the past?)

Great abstract. I'm drawn to the gray/yellow color combination too.
