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!

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

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

you pull some amazing stuf with that eye of urs,there is a massive cofee table book waiting to happen with your stuf paul!!

Yeah this what you love hey? Great work! M:>

damn nice work mr paul !!

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!!

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

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.

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.

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

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

Awesome shot! perfect tones and perspective!

very nice processing here!

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.

I remembered “Bad Day At Black Rock”

Vanzella heaven!

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

I love the light effects here Paul… and what’s not to love about Italian food : ) Wen x

another film set shot. well done

i love the mood here…great atmosphere and colors

I fully agree with bodymechanic. Definately a book here, P. So well done my friend.

fascinating…...and perfect

This a good one but odd it is like a mirage in the desert

fantastic! Love the atmosphere!

Love it – Great lines, great tones.

absent yet present

Love the colouring and those silos in the background

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

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

Fantastic work! Love the perspective and the mood!

You have a way of making even the starkest of landscapes inviting ;)

what more do we need?

I like this one…I feel the heat..give me water..

There you go again putting your unique perspective on things! Just luv the way you create those orange/brown backgrounds, it’s all yours. Great Job!

Such a cool shot : love the desolate wasteland and the colour and framing

Makes me wish I were there!
I just love places like this…
(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.. :-/

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

Awesome image and post production, so stark and flat.

A Dam good photo. :-)

This one works for me Paul, fantastic shot! You must have been way out in the ‘sticks’ for this one :)

Call it?... Call it?..........................
WOW – what a sign!! – Love the treatment and awesome composition.

Again a fantstic picture. I love the treatment

babe…those clouds are awesome….love your work….said it before got a real “grindhouse”feel to them….perfect gallery picture

wonderful shot,like always

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

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

love the feeling paul, amazing!

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.

this is brilliant but then /always

Stunning, imaginative work …

Love the road movie feel of this image, deafening silence and bags of atmosphere!

Excellent tones, beautifully placed and it looks amazing drawing so much for the eye to look at!!

This is what I love in Your photos…...total simplicity…......outstanding minimalism with atmosphere ….... Great work !!!!

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!! :)

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

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!

Good one, fabulous image.

reminds me of kerouac and hunter s…

Great shot – I thought it was Chinese Restaurants that were everywhere!

great and well-balanced postwork. really amazing!

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.

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

this sets my creative mind reeling

We sure are all looking for a sign…..out there in the middle of nowhere that sign would have been a sight to see…..and selling Italian food as well…..YUM!! Fantastic image!!

This, like a number of your images, lives at the intersection of melancholy and nostalgia. You have the talent to pull people through your graphic plane into a place of hyper imagination. You must take care Grasshopper to never use your powers for evil…. :)

Wonderful eye-thanks for sharing Mike.

love this one, great!!! Hope you’ve been well

Bronek

i really like the deserted dusty feel the image shows

love this

Fantastic work. Love it.

LOVE this one so much!! everything… the colors, the silo-like thing, the great clouds, tracks and the fabulous sign !! I love cool signs and this image has it all Paul. I’ve always loved this one and now I have the chance to add yet another PVZ beauty to my favorites. congrats on the homepage 7/5/09 feature Paul!
