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.
