4 - 24 - 18  Went to Brooklyn today to photograph Ray in his apartment, which was remodeled by him.  Very creative and beautiful work that he did.  He's exceptionally spiritual and immediately one can feel his warmth and kindness.  He has a dog that he has a close bond with that is very loving and special.
He went to his neighborhood gym before my arrival, where he works out a few times a week and it definitely shows.  A cut body, good abs and eats healthy, too. He had coconut rice in a slow cooker and in another, had a selection of vegetables, which he offered to me, but I choose the ice-cold water with lemon.  Very refreshing.  Enjoyed our conversation and of course, photographing him.  A very wonderful person.

4 - 17 - 18  Went to Brooklyn to photograph Brandon, whose interest and passion is acting.  He's 25 yrs. of age and is from the midwest.  Has been here for three years to pursue his dream and goals.
Always hearing and reading about NYC, he knew it was the place for him and loves it.  Brandon is creative, disciplined, open-minded and cool.  Very easy to photograph in available light and followed my suggestions.  He's a warm person, with a warm heart.
