Photographer’s Notes
It’s time to ‘fess up. I don’t have a studio. No studio lights. No reflectors. No backdrops. So at best, this must be a “simulated” color studio portrait. It is a (street) portrait. It’s in color; no B&W, no duotones, no sepia.
I like the image. It could have been taken in a studio. But I fear DNMC votes if folks take the “studio” part too seriously. No worries, I just like being in the game.
For the record, I love the haircut! Style. Attitude. Terrific!

Black is black
I want my baby back
It's gray, it's gray
Since she went away, Ooh-Ooh
What can I do
'Cause I-I-I-I-I'm feelin' blue
If I had my way
She'd be back today
But she don't intend
To see me again, Ooh-Ooh
What can I do
'Cause I-I-I-I-I'm feelin' blue
I can't choose
It's too much to lose
My love's too strong
Wow! Maybe if she
would come back to me
Then it can't go wrong
Bad is bad
That I feel so sad
It's time, it's time
That I found peace of mind, Ooh-Ooh
What can I do
'Cause I-I-I-I-I'm feelin' blue
I can't choose
It's too much to lose
My love's too strong
Wow! Maybe if she
would come back to me
Then it can't go wrong
Black is black
I want my baby back
It's gray, it's gray
Since she went away, Ooh-Ooh
What can I do
'Cause I-I-I-I-I'm feelin' blue
'Cause I-I-I-I-I'm feelin' blue
