This shot have been made in Rome, at the Live 8 in circo Massimo...I usually am against this sort of concert, where singer full of money make pubblicity to their cd talking about problem that they don't know onlu for a day and the day afetr they don't remember, like also the people who go to this concert....talking about peace and love and fightin' with the others 15 minut after the concert for a car parking or something stupid like that...

...but this time I was wrong....the concert has been special....and people seemed to feel somethin' very special...so I want to give my contribution for the peace and for Africa with this shot made at thge side of circo massimo waiting to go to the "bathroom", saying to myself and to everybody that it's only the fate that make us born in a country instead than in another....and so we must not forget to remember people less lucky than us...

...ah....sorry for the title of this shot...but I have not resisted...I think it's too funny!

A funny one and why not, you didn't miss this one, bad guy. I like this humour.
I want to teel you tha I share your idea about those concert made bt persons full of money making publicity. What does it change after ? It changes me maybe but what about the leaders ? those who decide for you. Give peace (piss) a chance ...my eye ! OK I'm getting calm now.

It is in fact this is the reality, where all show the solidarity
but they don't thoroughly know the problems. It is very beautiful there
in the hour, he knows that words dropped a country.
But the picture was legal, creative, I am happy that you also
he is giving his contribution for the peace. It is it that all of us
we want - Paz to the World.
Congratulations for the work, perfect

I love this shot, Giuliano!
the different colors and forms of the bathrooms speaks about our differences and also about how similar we are.
Congrats.
Marisa

COOL!! this is so original!!! nice work, is also usefull =) Excellent Photo.

this really made me smile Giuliano :-)) great capture and very funny title... ihih

i'm glad the concert was good.. i know what you mean about how false and fleeting these events can sometimes be and i think it's great that this really seemed to inspire a sense of human unity and solidarity... we all need it!

bravo per questa imagine molto evocativa del momento e spirito del evento e per la nota come sempre molto sensibile.. :-)

The colorful picture, your nice note and very funny title, as a whole makes a very nice presentation.

It is a ver apt title. LOL.

Andre"

I didn't see that one. I'm amuse... You probably have hesitation with the word game, or you have the flash after... The titre ON the picture and OF the picture is not exactly the same. A music lover you too? You seem to enjoy different style. Great work!

Very funny!! I'm still laughing about the nice coincidence :-). The title and the picture are funny as they are, but the fact that it's been taken at the Live8 Peace concert, makes it just perfect.
Annelies

Wonderful bunch of colours showing so well against the black at top and bottom. I like the perspective also. It is a very funny photo. It reminds us that wherever we live in the world and whether we are rich or poor, we all have to "go"....LOL... Well done!

Really funny shot, colorful and I like the metaphor.
