Not being rude but i got asked this question recently and i was interested to see how you whould have answered it "Why do you try and hide who you are?"

It's not a rude question at all... but it IS a misconception. It's actually a little funny... OK, to be honest I don't hide, nor try to hide, who I am at all... I figure that is someone has a problem with my foibles and peccadilloes, they should be able to know/find out enough to get out now, before they buy into a fantasy that isn't real. A friend of mine once said the following, and I believe in it myself:

"I don't really care if my photos, my life, is in the public domain. In fact, part of me would in some way prefer it. If everything about me were a clear and present public knowledge, I would have nothing to hide from the world, and it would have nothing to hold on me. If it was clear and up front who I was, what I say, what I do, and an employer hired me, there would be no real reason to take issue with me. People would have no misconceptions about me. I am a person with a long list of qualities and positions, roles, expectations, displays, dreams. I make no apologies for who I am and what I do, though I of course do and will admit when I am wrong. But I will not be made to feel "bad" or "evil" or "wrong" for my personhood."

Ask me anything
