So why is it when people find out I do Erotic Art Photography they automatically think that makes me a kinky weird fetish slut? Now I might be a kinky weird fetish slut (not going to say either way), but that would have nothing to do with what I do for a living. What is the fascination people have with putting labels on to everyone else?
A lot of my friends are strippers, porn stars, escorts and male models, and they get treated in much the same way. Soon as someone finds out what they do for a living they automatically start acting as if they are somehow superior to the guys in the "biz". Quite frankly that's a load of crap. The fact is that my friends in the "biz" are normally, smarter, more artistic, kinder, less judgemental and all around better people than the people I know who aren't.
What you do for a living doesn't make you a better person; how you treat others is what makes you a better person.
So next time you start thinking you can look down your nose at someone in the "biz" take a good long look at who you really are. What have you done for your fellow man, what do you really contribute to making the world a better place? Chances are you've done a lot less than the person you're about to think less of....
