Fantastic!:)

HydeSide, 3 months ago

Excellent comp Paul.

Jason Moses, 3 months ago

I can see the brilliant, yet finish on the cars, yet the structure’s colours and the purple-grey sky make everything look burnt and faded at the same time. The atmosphere’s almost tangible.

Gunslinger on the edge of town?............love to know whats over that little hill, don’t take your guns to town Paul…..............superb image.

Zaldy Infante, 3 months ago

such an expanse. i can’t define this.

Jake Easley, 3 months ago

Wow Paul!
Straight to the top of my favs! Love what you’ve created here.
The lack of eye contact with the camera really adds to desolate feel.
Great job on this one.

shanghaiwu, 3 months ago

so the salesman found his clothes!

ha ha….....................I should not pander to your ego but this is right down my alley
I look at this and say ” yes” he is brilliant.

Rivergirl, 3 months ago

Wow, such a cool shot, really captures the vastness and desolation of Arizona. I’ve been subscribing to Arizona Highways for the last 10 years, have kept every copy. If you love Arizona I would definitely suggest a subscription

docophoto, 3 months ago

You and Arizona were made foe each other!

Darren Burdell, 3 months ago

Wow! That could well be on the moon! Love the use of negative space in the left half of the frame to further emphasize the feel of emptiness.

Hans Kawitzki, 3 months ago

simplicity at its best

steen, 3 months ago

Jacq Wilson, 3 months ago

I have driven through Arizona and this sums it up perfectly!!!
Your work is so signature!!!! There is no doubting which are your images…...... unique, distinctive and undeniably brilliant!

velveteagle, 3 months ago

A true smack me in the face and fall over show of art… Let me now pick up the pieces… Bravo..

tomg, 3 months ago

Wonderful. Conveys the starkness but undeniable beauty of this vast place (even with the gas station) ...

LizVengeance, 3 months ago

haha love it
all the kids on myspace would be JEALOUS =]

annacuypers, 3 months ago

Would love to see and feel this place. I can believe it feels like having space.
A great shot Paul ! Love your use of light, color and graphics.

JanG, 3 months ago

Ha! Great title! Wonderful starkness and otherworldliness to this, like the gas station was dropped in out of nowhere.

Larasolnishko, 3 months ago

I know that feeling to become completely alone. Today I can see your naked soul, not body. I always feel the same when we used to live in California.
No one is really interesting who you really are? Everyone busy with there own superficial life and even if they will understand you, they never live your experiences.

Tony Fallon, 3 months ago

Thats some space !

t1nyskert, 3 months ago

babe…this is supreme standard work…this should be in a gallery of 21st century america…i’m in awe of you on this one…double instant fave

cdwork, 3 months ago

You’ve brilliantly turned negative space into a really positive view- The name of the station makes me laugh and your tones are awesome- great feel

Henk Stolk, 3 months ago

Like the colors

halftone, 3 months ago

Stark and surreal, liquids for all the guzzling monsters of the roads in the little oasis that is Speedys…..protected by the man with attitude at the front….

jlynn, 3 months ago

Love the attitude:) Excellent work!

elliewinds, 3 months ago

awesome image.

Walter Colvin, 3 months ago

Fantastic Image, Has that feel of this is my space.

Gerijuliaj, 3 months ago

Love it Paul – You have captured the colour, isolation and heat of the desert perfectly. Your stance and expression suggest you find it rather alien out there…though I have to say you suit the landscape with your tough look – I think it’s the folded arms and ‘don’t mess with me’ look. Great shot.

Philip Rogan, 3 months ago

great title lovely clean shot

Martin Derksema, 3 months ago

It is good to be the king. One could say ‘a rather empty and deserted kingdom’. But that is not true, because it is all happening in your mind. And your mind is filled up with all the experiences and knowledge of a lifetime. I do this too, now and then: fotographing myself in a scenery that means a lot to me. Aren’t we the stars of our own movie? We deserve to be immortalized. Great picture, Paul. And what a landscape …

50mm, 3 months ago

Awesome picture! Beautiful

kcranmer, 3 months ago

Love your space paul, awesome shot!

billyboy, 3 months ago

Great shot Paul. I guess you realized like I did when we drove through Arizona… when you’re down 1/4 tank, you better damn well start thinking about gassing up!

karen milder, 3 months ago

love your style your presenting on red bubble

Lachlan Kent, 3 months ago

I love the empty desolate feel of this.

bobbymcleod, 3 months ago

hey paul….stunning image! took a similar shot in the namib desert with three friends and myself standing butt-naked. shot from behind (excuse the pun) – just sand, blue sky and the skin team. it’s on slide somewhere. have to find it and upload. anyway…love this one of yours!

Danielle Prowse, 3 months ago

this is a fantastic shot i can relate to….this is 90% of WA!! just a roadhouse in the middle of nowhere!! love the tones too!

Naylor, 3 months ago

Is this on the road to Vegas by chance???? I took a bit of a road trip when I was in high school and we drove through the desert ….WOW you totally brought me right back on that road :)
I love this shot … The colors .. the depth and your pose…. (which way to go) .... Great work !!!

Heather King, 3 months ago

stunning paul, love the desolation

mmlkbsr, 3 months ago

that’s unbelievable…i never been there but this is crazy how they dont have anything on the side of the road

jianina, 3 months ago

this piece is very crazy to me>>it reminds me of so much>>especially-withstanding much stero-tyoe-very powerful picture has lots of political symbolism to me!! GO GREEN- FORGET THE GAS STATION-ITS IN THE BACKGROUND!!!

Birgitta, 3 months ago

There’s a story here. A man..perhaps frustrated..broken down car-
waiting..tired of waiting..(look at those arms for crying out loud! Beefy!)
Back to my saga. :-/
tired of waiting..
well, that’s what I get from it. ;)
Could easily be a movie ad! Sleek and cool..
