This is fantastic Paul! Love the composition of this… the style of the image works so well with the subjects.. masterful processing! I love the graphic element of the sign set against the deasturated desert floor and that fantastic sky.. Love it!

Neil Johnson, 2 months ago

Great shot! Looks like AZ! I like the overlay for the sky. It’s hard getting the sky in AZ without it being blowout.

I could live there

Larry Varley, 2 months ago

Amazing sky, great shot. Not sure about the sign? Is it Dam Bar and Grill, or Dam!!@#$ Bar and Grill :)

Oooo, Italian food, my fave! Great work, Paul, love the bleached processing, works brilliantly for the landscape – well done!

Hey Paul.. Time to share some wine and feel the breeze.. When the time comes it will take the wind out of our lungs .. Our first breath will never be remembered… Great work..

Paul, this is just the kind of sign you’d see in the distance, driving though Arizona hoping against hope that it would turn out to be a gas station. More often than not, the sign would advertize a creek or a rock formation… at least this place had food! You’ve truly captured the vibe of the vast nothingness between nothing!!

Sharon Hammond, 2 months ago

I wouldn’t be dying to eat there. What a fabby capture

Zaldy Infante, 2 months ago

A scene we would all like to pocket and take home. The possibilities are endless. Shirt Shack, Sunrise Homes, Italian Food and Foto Quick!!!! A retirement plan.

And a high degree of adventure.

Barssel, 2 months ago

There is a solitude in your latest work Paul, are you home sick? Not a criticism just an observation…..................really evocative image this one, remember that film with “Spencer Tracey”, the one where he had one arm…................thats what this one made me think off.

LoveMy7Cs, 2 months ago

Italian food and a foto quick.
Sure there’s a dam hotel close bye too.
What more could you want?

CherryDarling, 2 months ago

The landscapes in you pictures from US are just fantastic. Faster Pussycat could fit right in here… Russ Meyer eat your heart out!

reynarte, 2 months ago

bchrisdesigns, 2 months ago

robotsdream, 2 months ago

another superb shot!! I always want to step into your images and look around – i love the Arizona landscape and bleak nothingness. Agree with Bodymechanic – a coffee table book waiting to happen.

Barssel, 2 months ago

I remembered “Bad Day At Black Rock”

Mel Brackstone, 2 months ago

Vanzella heaven!

Andrew Bosman, 2 months ago

Once again Paul you have seen something that most mere mortals wouldn’t have.
Excellent minimalist image.

Leith Matson, 2 months ago

Love the colouring and those silos in the background

Richard Seymour, 2 months ago

Love it – the cement works tower in the background adds depth , desaturated warm tones work really well

Andy Harris, 2 months ago

Love the space and starkness in these shots – great tonal range and also a warmth! Love you work!

Robin Webster, 2 months ago

(And did you know I’ve been wanting to go to Arizona my whole life?!)
I feel like everybody and their Grandma’s been..shoot..you’re from halfway
across the world and even you’ve been! I’m such a loser.. :-/

Charles Winslow, 2 months ago

Awesome work Paul! Reminds me of being stationed at Fort Irwin California, nothing but desert.

Sarah Moore, 2 months ago

Hey Paul … I just saw No Country for Old Men and this image could be straight out it’s set! Awesome love the simplicity.

Adrian Donoghue, 2 months ago

Love the elements in this sparseness, very surreal, terrific atmosphere. Great work as usual Paul.

Archan Nair, 2 months ago

love the feeling paul, amazing!

Martin Derksema, 2 months ago

I love the loneliness in this landscape. You do miracles with light. It is your light that changes an ‘ordinary’ scene into the most important moment in Universe. You can’t miss this sign. That is the beauty of this landscape: it is uncomplicated and clear. In the complex environment of every day life the signs often are harder to read. I miss signs now and then … and pay the price.

shanghaiwu, 2 months ago

this is brilliant but then /always

tomg, 2 months ago

Stunning, imaginative work …

Darren Burdell, 2 months ago

MarkoBeslac, 2 months ago

jianina, 2 months ago

I need a sign that says just that near my place!!!>>>with a fully equipped bar and grill!!! YUM>>>
Kool shot…..you don’t know what you have just done to me!! :)

Simon Mears, 2 months ago

an absolute classic.. i;m in love with the silo in the distance

Simon Mears, 2 months ago

and the way it works with the bar and grill sign which thinks, wrongly, it’s having all the fun. So much happening here it’s practically the Vegas fecking strip,, excellent work!

Rene, 2 months ago

I love this picture. You have such a unique and individual style. I don’t know how you get that “Paul Vanzella” look but I sure do love it. Keep them coming.

avalyn, about 1 month ago

Your images are so clear and clean. I agree with above – you do have a unique style….very refreshing and Zen-like. Terrific work!
