Today I had the pleasure of dropping off a poster for heavyweight boxer Dieuty "The Untamed Beast" Ariistilde. One of the fun things about being a photographer is getting to meet and learn things about people. Dieuly turned out to be a very pleasant and a nice guy. On the information I got from his fight his name was spelled wrong, it is Dieuly Ariistilde. I also learned that he came to the United States from Haiti at six years old and had a football scholarship before being shot in an altercation that almost took his life. Putting all that behind him he now works as a bodyguard for the rich and famous at nights so that he can train for his boxing career in the day time.
