Oops, wrong song... same author. The song is "Desafinado" a song about bossa nova. It's all about somebody who criticizes his singing because they think he's out of tune (hense "desafinado") and the aforementioned lined is his sarcastic reply to this personal critique. -Byron

Very well done. I'm glad you did it this way instead of the other. Very well thought out and planned. When I hear the word "Rolleiflex", all I can think of is "Girl from Ipanema" by Antonio Carlos Jobim. In the Portuguese part of the song, one of the lines says (transliteration) " I took a photo of you with my Rolleiflex... your enormous ingrattitude was revealed (a pun in portuguese as the verb "revelar" can mean to reveal or to develop (as in film)) -Byron

Byron, It was taken on a white foam core board on top of an outside table. Then adjusted to all white in PSE2. Lee

Was this taken on a white background outdoors or was the background cut out in PS?
