Bruno's Office

Eeeexcellent!

such a crisp image, wonderful lighting

Do you think Bruno knows what to do if the light in the far left corner starts to flash?
Are we puting to much responsibility on machines.
What if that light means meltdown?

Magnificent! That’s all that needs to be said!

Sector 7G revisited, The random patterns, colors and shapes of the control gear is fantastic as is the tiled floor leading up to Bruno. The lighting is fantastic as is Bruno’s relaxed pose. Would love to see a longer exposer when something is going wrong. Great work yet again Paul

I’m not sure I want to see a photo of something going wrong!! eeek! This would be a classic with your “Always the last to leave” graphic work….or that could just be me thinking out loud.

So Cool!

This really is nice—reminds me of the Jetsons.

I really like this Paul. There is so much to look at, to keep the eyes busy. You have a real signature tone about your photos – I can’t quite put my finger on it but its a certain light . This has it. An almost 50’s era patina of lime greens and old analogues – I would expect Bruno to be wearing horn rimmed glasses and to have a pens clipped into his breast pocket.

I agree with Flamejob Paul. Your work definately has a 50’s era patina. I think it’s that there’s always (to me anyway) a limited colour range. With perhaps one ‘hero’ colour. Often red I’ve noticed. Another great composition here.

Yes, very retro. And the lines are so clean. Very nicely framed.

Does Bruno bring his luch to work in a tupperware container? Great shot Paul Vanzella.

ihope bruno gets to listen to some nice music in there….

The place is so neat tidy, but the walls are a mess

Love the 50’s green and the whole picture has acertain quality that is hard to define and like a lot of your other work it simply rocks.

Hi Paul, two things I really like about this: compositionally the way the shadow on the wooden desk finishes off a journey around the room that begins with green cupboards down the left, and as a story the way Bruno is such an organic fixture in an almost “Brazil” style film set scenario – somewhere organic beings don’t really have a place anymore… definitely an entertaining shot

Paul, you have such a fine eye. Your work really inspires me. I thank you for that.

WOW, WOW, WOW you turn the mundane into the fantastic. Love everything about this.

What to say…..I’d like to work with Bruno :)))

Bruno’s Back!! – Great work, Prefer this one to the earlier ‘Inside Sector 7G’. So much going on in UNIT 2. FYI: Yesterday I laid eyes on a Gregory Crewdson on show at NGV as part of the Guggenheim exhibition.. It is one of the most compelling things I’ve ever seen (I had a tear in my eye.. Seriously). You should check it out!

absolutely brilliant Paul, i love how you capture the ‘mundane’ and turn it into absolute brilliance…well done

Great work Paul!

Fabulous, painterly feel to this, Paul. Has a sort of understated Hopper feel to it.
It’s just so interesting and exiting to the eye and stimulating to the mind.
IOW I love it!

good one, as much depth as an Ansell Adams landscape in this.

Brain Meltdown for me if I was to learn what all those dials meant. Worse than the camera settings. LOL Another beauty Paul, love your style.
xkc

This is fantastic – Homer eat your heart out!!!

Well done

I recognise that ass.

Paul, your work continues to inspire.. Excellent, once again.

brilliant paul, really diferent and inspiring, looks like somewhere HOMER simpson would eat donuts

All those dials and hands in pocket, I love what you captured.

Thanks for the great comments, yes, this is the full view of Inside Sector 7G and as Lindsay pointed out there is a lot more going on in the full image. More dials, more lights, however, Bruno has it all under control….

Bruno’s the man! Love the shot.
(I hope he doesn’t press the big
red button that must be there
somewhere!)

Looks like it’s straight from the 50’s. Great feel to it Paul. Brilliant work

Industrial complexes are fascinating places and I’ve been trying to get in to explore a few but it’s difficult, especially with a camera, swap you a toe for access to 7G?

The stance on “Bruno” is a classic – appears to be performing the “I’m nervous bum squeeze”. A joy to view your work as always

Sensational stuff. Great Image once again!
Hey Paul i’ve sold some work! Pretty thrilled with this. Your images were a great inspiration to go and get a new camera and start developing my own style
Cheers M:>

Quite incredible Paul, love your work.

Very nice image.
Shows a lot about the place.

I can not speak for drooling….:)

Bruno is a champion – I bet he is a wiz at programming his VCR/PVR too.

Great photo, very fifties style as mentioned above, just a joy to look at.

This is a terrific shot Paul. Love it love Bruno

Cant’ work out if this is a painting or a photo… but I do like it. It has the interesting industrial feel of a 1980s/70s factory (replete with lime green!) and there are lots of interesting little elements to it.

Great image, It’s almost surreal how many dials there are and all for this one guy to look over. Great shot Paul.

I knew straight away this was yours, such a style,
I can envisage Vanzella giglees flying out the door in art galleries.

Paul .. I have a feeling you have spent way to much time in sector 7 … that growth, the strange odour and ur newly acquired limp are just the start…...................Bruno’s just checking out whats on the TV.. all those buttons are just an elloborate control syetm for a TV.. Dam Europeans so far behind with the times…................

Lance you may be right – he might just be watching The Price is Right or something…. :)

Give the man some donuts!

sorry for the slow response paul….. i’m on tour at the moment and at some hotels the price is just too steep for a broadband connection…. glad to get a chance to see more of this image… now we see that the first image was just a taste of what bruno had in store for us. the wood panel of the foreground desk, the diagonal light, brunos poise under pressure and that gorgeous institution green…... mmmmm, sensational….

Wow.
Fantastic place and composition.

the composition makes it feel so boxed – so dangerous and claustraphobic – it’s great – you get a feel for the place and I think I would rather be watching the Simpsons too – too much responsibility.

What an essay in alienation.. terrific..

I’ve looked at this picture many many times now, and always find myself going off to reflect…finally I’ve decided that I do like it, and that it shouldn’t scare me (ie-chernobyl feel…) Yes I am strange sometimes…...but pictures can evoke such feelings!!! :)

brilliant!

Love this!

Very well done,Paul,it seems it poses more questions,than answers,good images are prone to do that,cheers.

It’s just great. All the comments you’ve had prove it. I bet Bruno has a hard time finding someone to stand in for him if he needs to nip out for a while. Lovely work. John. PS thanks for your visit to ‘Dream Time’, I had fun doing it. John

Gorgeous colour – and sense of one person’s working life.

wow. i want an office like that.

Excellent composition and PP!

Very nice details and lighting here Paul!

Simply breathtaking….your skills and taste are well exhibited. I love this picture;best regards

that’s an incredible shot….I don’t know what you’re doing as a PP treatment but
it’s magic. Fantastic colours!

You both do great work!

Brilliant work – again!!

A very ‘graphic’ office!

this is great,love the tones!

One of the great ‘inquisitives’ of life is the the diversity of work spaces. This is an one of those daunting ones. Beautifully captured.

Inspirational !! This ones a masterpiece….D.

I love the lighting in this, gives it depth. fantastic image!

Beautiful image. I also love the way Bruno is not facing the camera, but is rather an integral part of this busy office.

You have a great eye! making what could be quite ordinary into the extraordinary.

Haaaa…the description is hilarious.
The capture is terrific! It most definitely paints the story of the
daily grind. WOW..you have a great sense of interpreting and conveying.
I’ll call it: storytelling. :)

Great composition. (Bruno has placed himself thoughtfully!). I particularly like the diagonal foreground shadow – and the way the earthiness of the wood and fibre counterpoints the intimidating technology of the control panels.

Incredible work, where do you find a place like this!

The colors, light and simplicity of this is fantastic, I like the one man alone, speaks loudly

great details and lighting, i love your fine colours

I worry about this poor chap being in charge of all these gadgets. :-)

Excellent photo.

You are The Man when it comes to colour and light…..........the retro green and severe light just do it for me. I love the smallness of the figure and the shading on his shirt and trousers….......just superb.

Paul – so great to “see” you again! Thank you so much for all the wonderful comments. I LOVE your new work, this included. It’s got such a wonderful, desolate feel to it – the romance of weariness. I hope you take that as a compliment, because I mean it as one. I’ve long been fascinated by the romance of weariness and desolation. It is the feeling of the red lights on radio towers blinking against the inkiness of an Arizona sky.

Short story: you’re brilliant and I love your work!

I haven’t forgotten about those photos I want. I just had to use all my money for medical expenses. One of these days, I’ll have cash again and they’re still on my list! : )

OMFG ! i LOVE this dude !
so 1950’s punch card technician/boffins.
love it !

ooh im HONORED Paul. really.
good news – we did our first test show at a house party and we did well. we now need venues. and we have 8 tracks so almost a second cd ready.
:) hint hint.

This is awesome! does this place actually exist?? stunning image

Every time I see one of your works, I immediately start twiddling knobs in my head, trying to work out your formula. I think I’ve twiddled too much and broken them.

Fantastic image. I’d love to refer to it in one of my stories yet to be released on RB.

good grief – what kind of work does Bruno doo?? I rather suppose he wouldn’t be in this room at all if he really didn’t know how,what,when,where,who,why, right?? this is just so fascinating to look at; so many different dials, knobs, screens, lights, patterns, colors and papers to look at!!! WHERE IS THIS PLACE?

I’m going to favorite this one so I can look at it closer and see if I can decipher ANYTHING I unerstand bout this intersting photo!!! I love your … your very different aspect on things – is that the right word?

Looks like a movie set…awesome.

Shameless plug – check out Rani Ricked Kicks Himself to see a link to this photo.

This is my absolute favorite image of yours and now thinking about it maybe the whole of the bubble i love the tones and really the whole feel of the image

yhyh i thought of the simpsons to lol
