  I´m sorry, I belong to the international community and don´t know what Imodium A-D is!!!!!??????
snifff, snifff... (just kidding,...)
Very nice shot Dolores, but I suppose I am missing an important part of the all thing by not understanding the title. Well, it doesn´t matter... we get used to it!
Best regards from Ponte de Lima, Susana

  Hi Susana,
Imodium A-D is an anitdiharrial medication. I went to the site you listed and am impressed by the work of a young artist. Very nice photo's indeed! I can tell the photographer truly loves the camera and subjects. It shows in the work!

Dolores Neilson
  Greetings, Jeff! Many thanks for the complimentary post! I'm delighted you found your smile today~!

Hello Darren! Thanks so much! Laughter is THE medicine prescribed by most doctors...not IModium A-D!!

Thank you Sherri! BUt one can never be too funny! Excellent Robin Williams!

Hi Oksana!! Thanks to you also! Appreciate your post immensely!

Hi Colette! I heard you laughing all the way from CT !!~! THank you for posting!

Hello Stephen! Thanks so much for stopping by and posting on my work! I appreciate it immensely!

Thank you, me lass! Appreciate your laughter and post!

HI Susana!! I"m sorry about the esoteric meaning...Imodium is for diarrhea..... It's always advertised on our networks here. In fact, I'm pretty tired of seeing it!

HI Ellen! THank you !!!! As always, a pleasure to hear from you!!

Hi Murry!! Oh no...not me car, me lad! Golly, I sure wish that was my ride!! Hard to carry kayaks on it though! A beautiful car indeed. Lots of them at the car show in Ma. Many thanks, Murry! Always a pleasure!

Jean-François..that's the way I feel about your images! THank you for that lovely compliment. I never take them for granted! Happy shooting!

HI Suzie! I like "lmao". I gotta use that one!! THanks so much for your enthusiasm and support!! You're always a delight!!

HI Barbara! I don't think that about me...though sometimes the mood strikes me. AGain, I know you have given me more time...I appreciate it!

  Hi Paula! I was at a car show and this antique car happened to be parked in front of these blue portapotties. Well, with my usual head in the toilet ;?), it made it easy to "create" a story. No staging...I just don't have that power and I do not know anyone with a car like this. Though I'd love to reshoot in less harsh light if I had my drothers!!

  Uh, I don't know....I'm no expert, but I'd say the bright light is probably why the colors look so vibrant. I think the lighting is fine.

I was wondering if it was your car. I love it!

Dolores Neilson
  NOpe...not my car...though I sure wish it was! There were so MANY beautiful cars at the car show...flawless paint jobs with no dust on them! NOt even a fingerprint or dirt on the steering wheel or seats..even the rugs inside were spotless. They obviously took great pride in maintaining and displaying their classic cars.

  Hi Evy!! You are so nice! Thanks so much for your approval and enthusiasm!! Much obliged!

HI Ron!! Well, that makes me smile...THANK YOU!!

Hi Judy! Thanks so much!! I appreciate it immensely! Ever since I posted it, I keep finding flaws in it...mainly light issues. I just wish it had been a cloudy day for more even light. I think I still would have had popping color. Oh well... Thank you for lifting up my work. I'm very critical of my own work.

  Hi BT!! Oh no..BT...I can't title my images with cool titles like yours....I have a warped sense of humor! LOL...Thanks so much for stoppin' by!

Good morning, Susana! Well...now you know one extra word: IModium A-D for diarrhea control!
And cheers from US!!

HI Gary! Yep...I sure was! People there who saw me compose were probably wondering why I would shoot a beautiful car with toilets in a background!! Hah...

Thanks so much, GAry! Hope all is well with you and you're taking time to do fun stuff!

  Wonderful composition.
Love the bright colors.
I notice the license plate is blurred a bit.
Did you do that to protect the innocent? ;-)
Well done, as always, Dolores.

  THank you, bill!! I appreciate your post immensely! I did blur the plate...you just never know. THe owner didn't ask for his pic on the net so I just want to cover all the bases. I appreciate that you've taken time to view and comment on my work!

HI Paula!! Thanks again! I just try to be very careful...I'm still a bit naive in many ways...dont' know what trouble can become of it, but just in case.

  Porto potties and a car don't sound like a very promising combination, but you've created a really wow image out of it! This is really funny, but also really beautiful! The colours are wonderful together and the composition is marvellous! Congratulationbs and best of luck in the finals!
