What it's Like...

Hello everyone!

I've been thinking a lot about how I feel whenever I admit to someone I have a disability when I get asked the dreaded "What do you do for a living?". It's caused many panic attacks, and I almost always have someone either look at me like I'm a liar, or hear a quip like, "You don't look sick!". Even worse are the...

I've been chronically ill for 12 years now. There are a few tenets I live by now that life as a chronically ill person has taught me: 1.) People may mean well, but they don't know shit about being chronically ill, unless they are either a medical professional, or chronically ill themselves; and, 2.) I only take the things my doctor prescribes me; new-age, holistic, herbal remedies are all fine and good for whomever wishes to try that stuff, but I will stick to the tried and true treatment I've been on for the past 7 years, the one that allows me to live some semblance of a normal life.

GAH!

Waiting for hotel confirmation email from San Diego Comic Con is nerve wracking. I feel like I'm going to collapse!

At least I get to see my favorite band tomorrow and take photos for them! I'm so super excited!

There's a distinct pattern of assholes here on SG lately. How about …

I do like how some people are taking active measures to call these trolls out. Not sure what rules the SGs have to operate under, but I've been reading on the Internet a lot lately that women who have been threatened, bullied, and subjected to degrading comments have been getting ID on the person who did it and notifying their families, workplaces, etc. Latest example is the ex-baseball pitcher Curt Schilling, who tweeted how proud he was of his daughter getting into a college to play softball. Punks on Twitter started making truly obscene posts about her; Schilling notified employers and family and at least two of them have lost their jobs for it. People who abuse social media need to learn that the 1st Amendment prohibits GOVERNMENT interference with freedom of speech, but outside of that, what you say has consequences. People are also free to react to bad speech.

@triplewww  I hate people who think free speech applies to everything.

I just want to say, that if any of you are feeling depressed to the point it feels like the end, even if I don't know you, you can reach out to me. I lost a friend this weekend to suicide, and it's killing me that she didn't come to any of us for help.

No one deserves to feel that alone. I know how...

Some of the most delusional people seem to call themselves "photograp…

Right; I meant to say "OR" experience rather than "and." And I don't necessarily mean school when I say "education." I do think you have to study the craft a bit; know what your equipment is and what it can do.

I take great mental pictures! Unfortunately it's a hidden talent because no one can see them. I am really quite good though...scout's honor! 😉

Hello SG!

After months of my website being offline, I'm finally relaunching! Please go and have a look at the new and improved sidduction.com! It works on mobile devices too!

I hope you enjoy it! I'll be adding a section for my own photography eventually, but right now my main focus is getting more modeling gigs!

Thanks so much for looking!

X0X0,

Hello SG!

I've been a little busy lately. Getting more work on my giant ass octopus tattoo that is actually on my giant ass...

I still have quite a few sessions to go. This baby's going to be full color too. I really wish I could finish it faster than I currently am, but my artist is in high demand and I can't just blow

@legman it's Bosch's "Garden of Earthly Delights" just the images from the "hell" portion of the painting though.
legman:

Life is funny.

Every morning I wake up and go through a similar routine of opening my eyes, petting my dog, checking my cellphone, etc. I have no restrictions on how early I have to get up most days. I'm free to do what I want. I love that. Today was no different, except I checked my instagram to see some rude messages from a troll account. It...
