I was being interviewed yesterday,maybe about this little boy which I saw over 40 years ago. I hid it away for most of the 40 years and only shared it a few times with others.this photograph remind me of a De Carava. In my mind the two boys are in conversation about black boyhood but this boy is holding back,waiting for his next move.After more than 40 years he still waits.This photograph by Dawoud Bey is the second one I purchasec#mrbennette #flâneur#childhoodthoughts by @mrbennette

Waiting with Dawoud Bey at Smoke Jazz Club to hear James Francies Trio with special guest Joel Ross ,only to be blown away by the last song of the set, My Favorite Things. Occasionally one must see and hear live music,I went home and downloaded the song and got depressed.The trio and Joel Ross @ jamesfrancies88 @imjoelmross @imlucaalemanno @_imjeremydutton_ were wonderful throughout the entire evening but that last song was joyful and exciting in that moment to me,I will have to go back tonight #mrbennette#flâneur#jazz by @mrbennette
