Postmodern Drive By

Dramatic image………………love the framing

Oh YES!!!!!

Smashing image – love your lines, tones, negative space, framing, vintage car and modern building…......you got it all going on here.

exquisite. and astounding light.

excellent composition, beautiful lighting…
my best, francis.

I feel as if I’m in a different time…lovely image with strong lines and direction :) Wonderful warm aged treatment :)

You’re one of the few people I know, that can manipulate
the size of things, without manipulating them. Genius!

fantastic composition and tones, as always, I especially like this one

inspired work. I feel like I want to the don the tones you created here for a day and see what’s up.. is this a little flirty world? Or is this a out of control behind the curtains world? Hummm I like the drive by.. are they leaving or are they parked and can barely keep their hands off each other.. these tones are a story all by themselves.. minimal jam packed image Paul.

great composition and tone Paul. Very cool work!

dramatic in its simplicity very nice work

A different world this, isn’t it? One you want to visit. I think it would be kind of like living in Bewitched or something like that. Lovely. Ax

From where do you get such great locations? Nice work!

Great work, Paul. Post Modern architecture is what I enjoy.

you’ve done it again Paul with composition, colour and post production. I really like the composition with the negative space and only the back half of the car in frame. You have made a box structure look interesting

HA HA you have worked some wonders with this to get all the elements in to the image without destroying the “Rothko”

wonderful work Paul

Love ‘N’ Laughter Kriss

fantastic work Paul…..love the composition, tones and that car!! well done

Classic! The old car almost out of sight, the light, the square box sitting in concrete isolation, the sky!

You have a wonderful way of turning the mundane into something else.
Fantastic treatment.

love the edge of frame with the car, nice touch…incredible how you maintain that perfect PV style always the same yet each composition is a visual feast. I believe this is what makes you a maestro !

MMM from me (Memorable Modern Minimalism). Not to forget LIM (Less Is More).

Just love the huge cube with windows! For some reason it makes me think of a stereo speaker! It is certainly speaking loud and clear to me! Wonderful capture of modernsim with that Vanzella style!

Strangely enough, the things that took my eye are those two fin shadows from the car! I looked all around, but that’s where my eyes rested, ultimately…..how weird am I?

Another Mr. V. classic !!! Composition, lighting, timing and editing are ALL superb and I just love the architecture !!!!

Aaahh! fantastic!!

Excellent and minimal as always Paul…......good work bud!

Only you could spot this from a mile off….......and get the camera out and do it…
Love your visions…...this is you all over :)

Wow – love the retro look! My kind of shot!!

wonderful capture Paul, love the classic car placement and the muted tones remind me of the 50’s for some reason, love your work

Way cool, Paul, it’s the complete 50”s package, I especially love the little white box shape on the fence on the far left, it just balances everything. :))

wow that is just awesome....love it to bits… such sharp lines such muted magnificence…. gorgeous

visual excellence :P

Cool!

hey this is right up my street… that building is so kitch yet futuristic sort of.. love everything about this pic! drive by never looked so good!!

great work, the treatment really works

Now how did I pick this as a PV from the thumbnail I wonder!! Classic image Paul … brilliant processing.

i love it… the building looks like it only exists in two dimensions, as though if I walked to the side of it there would be nothing there but two diagonal struts proping it up…. it’s so everyday and mundane yet presented in this manner you have made your subjects become a part of something altogether surreal and fabricated… and fantastic… both something and nothing… 4 stars for you…

Fantastic work Paul… You always surprise me!

another killer paul.everything seems to be perfect.subject matter,space,balance,tones.
a typical vanzella.a beauty.

Fantastic image Paul,love the treatment,car,neg space,building and retro feel. Good eye.

Gorgeous capture Paul. Great composition too. :)

Beautiful composition again Paul, love your use of lines and your lighting is always so good …

great work!

Ah Yes a classic Vanzella. This is what you do best Paul. Trademark colours and a keen eye for design. Keep them comming

u nail this one a beauty!! great shot

When did modern become retro? Remember when ‘Space Age’ was cutting edge? And abruptly it became, quaint. It went away and left behind debris… offal… Vapor that’s clearing to reveal the … vapid. How long until these boxes decay physically to the degree that they’ve decayed aesthetically? Hmmmm…. Wunnerful questions Paul.

(nailed it)

Yep..thats what i’m talkin about! nice piece Paul.

Wow that building so suits your style and love the red caddy

very cool and stylish – great work!

fantastic.

Classic (if that’s not a mixed metaphor) Paul.

love this image.

awesome modern mood captured!
with a hint of the past :)

Fantastic work Paul – always fascinated by your style.

That is delicious!

LOVE the composition, colors and style here Paul!! my eye moves from one element to the next and then back around seeing things freshly again. the style, textures and ability to endlessly fascinate make this uniquely your own. love it!!!

Beautiful juxtapostion of design elements Paul.

You are the king of cool Paul, brilliant work!

This is just so good…......so ‘you’ and so good…........

WOW Paul, awesome work mate, love this :)

Yet another Vanzella treat!
I mean the house is something in itself.. but the car…. the car, perfectly positioned… shadow in tow… just blows it into another truly awesome dimension!!
As always your treatment and post work is seamless! Would never be able to tell what’s real or what’s not. I always think it’s all real and original from the photo!! If it is then you’re a legend… if it isn’t… you’re still a legend!! :D

Beautiful processing…great shot

:) Beautiful tones…lines….I love your work..it’s been a while since i’ve been around the bubble…missed your work…takes you back to another time..an innocent time…beautiful!!

All the elements are set perfectly. The tones are sublime. Beautiful work!

Superb architecture shot, Paul. Love the tones, treatment, comp and the car flying out of the shot. Well done indeed. Cheers Elana. P.S Was this taken in the States or oz?

Heaven

Paul, just wonderful…. Stop dead composition yet natural without being contrived, fleeting yet solid. Infectious and inspiring…. Has made my day and lifting a veil of fog. Thankyou.

ok.. i love this… ‘nuff said already ;)

I love your art , it is somewhat reminiscent of my favourite American artist , Hopper

great shot, love it!

Brilliant. I want to stand on the balcony with a Martini and look at my car.

Wow ! fantastic piece Paul…the colours and composition are incredible

excellent

What a lovely place, beautiful graphical image, great lighting and colortones, well done again Paul ! x anna

Just beautiful, Paul! Really love it!

What a fricking vision! So much surrealness in your work. Great eye candy everytime.

crap – this is so fabulous!

i just love the half-car in the right! and your use of colour is just superb!

I’ve just realised this is your car, Paul – did you buy it for the photo-ops? Lol. GORGEOUS!

Reminds me a lot of an urban living-type ad from 50s. Keep wondering what’s what the slogan.

I LOVE your composition!!!

You just rock my world….......I mean that. So Beautiful

A fabulous shot Paul….so clean, clear, unpretentious

How do you come up with this stuff? I am trying to imagen your work method and all i can think of is this is too amazing to be real

Brilliant image Paul, you are so individual.
