10 - 31 - 15  Went uptown to photograph D'Vante and took the subway to 167th St., where he met me at the subway stop.  He's 23 years of age, tall guy and very nice, too.  He has attended college to learn about acting, but decided to change course and now is interested in directing.  I found him cultured, knew about a lot of my favorite artists and is determined, motivated and focus to follow his goals to direct.  He has gone to Detroit and has directed a play, including a play in NYC that is considered off-off Broadway.  I sense that this is the beginning for him and his career.  He's comfortable in his skin and who he is.  I know his dream of directing will be realized.

10 - 24 - 15  Went to Brooklyn today to photograph David.  He's 28 years of age, is a lawyer and lives with 3 other roommates.  Very smart guy, since I noticed lots of books around in his room and also had a drum set.  He mentioned to me that he is in a band, also noticed lots of figureative sketches on his walls.  Very good, too.  He's 6'4'' tall guy and slim, very comfortable with his body and mentioned to me that we can do some outdoors photos in the backyard.  Lots of small trees and leaves around and photographed him amid them.  Cool guy, nice guy, too.  Wonder what his roommates thought of him doing the nude photo shoot, not sure if he mentioned or not, but my "hat" goes off to David for doing the shoot.  Added a new experience to his life's experiences.  He has lots of time to keeping them adding up.
