What we find aesthetic is very personal…
I could do a book on these kinda landscapes…

    You should come to Tampa we have lots of neighborhoods that are going through a revitalization and we have some that still look like this image too. :)

    Just love those colours, it’s all so sub-tropical and I can just imagine the summer heat from this site…..humid and oppressive….

    Love your vision, Paul! There was a exhibition at QUAD, a fantastic arts gallery near me, called “PhotoCinema”, I only wish I’d have known about it sooner, some of your work would have perfect for it. David Lynch was one of the exhibiters among other fabulous creatives! :-)

    you can just feel the heat & sizzle from the sun baking the landscape here. -the grass growing thickly under the sedan & the density of the trees reaching around to overtake the house, -love how you see things/life/the world Paul!!
    also love your words about how what we find aesthetic being very personal… so true!!

    What a great 70’s feel this has to it. It reminds me of the old Polaroid shots my family still cling to even though the film is peeling away from the plastic backing. I would love to see a book on this subject ~ hint, hint!

    Paul, yes this is too me banal also, but it is how you see it and I think great art lets us see the wonder behind all things.

    I like the vastness of the concrete carpark…......framed by the pastel wall…......then the pastel house looms….........so American…......you have such an eye for these, so you might as well do a book :)

    i am taken by the cleanliness of the parking lot!!! This is an interesting image indeed. As a child I spent a short time in Biloxi and this image is so very “down home.” Southern texture indeed…

    I agree these are fantastic images and would do well as a coffee table book.

    That car looks like if it had been there for months! I guess that also adds to the magic of the scene.

    these shots are like going back in time kind of feel to them, I feel lots of your work has like a dream feel or still like stop in time feel to them…. great treatment to get that effect.

    and you’re right… our own asethetic tastes are so very personal. They can’t be taught or learned I don’t think… they just are.

    It’s so very 1952. Charming. :)
    (And I think the amount of FG/foreground you’ve included gives it
    that extra special something.)

    I did a double take when I realized this wasn’t a shot of West Auckland.

    Amazing- it looks like home to me.
