Thats an epic landscape… so empty…

Wow, now that is what I call desolate, love this :))

yup. thats pretty much the southwest for ya. lived there for 9 months, never got old of seeing everything in nothing. great tones in this.

thats a damn great shot !!

Paul goes Mad Max?

paulyland….. amazing shot….... so very you.

Brilliantly composed …... Love the colours and the way there is nothing but the fuel station, the pose works for me!!!!

love that bronzey finish you get in your image, looks fantastic with the splashes of red…awesome style and sense of space :)

Awesome Paul!!

Fantastic!:)

Excellent comp Paul.

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.

Love the space, thanks for taking us on the journey with you.

HOT!

such an expanse. i can’t define this.

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.

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.

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

great self portrait too :)

This is a scene from a Russ Meyer film!

Awesome shot Paul! The starkness is very sexy! ...that’s if starkness can ever be sexy :)

love the colours, comp and title!

Space is underrated!
I like your use of it ;)

Awesome self portrait – great colours and sense of space!

Ah the middle-of-nowhere servo….great shot & SP Paul

Paul, a great use and display of space!
The dof is amazing

What a location

lovely image… you looking to one side makes me feel that there might be something else around afterall and it’s not all so empty… there is hope..

Paul’s getting lonely

that is just so awesum! wot an amazing place! great pic too!!

such a strong composition
superb

Wow what a brilliant image….very classy photography, well done.

You and Arizona were made foe each other!

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.

simplicity at its best

great work…..i posted a pic yesterday titled “myspace”

A fantastic, clean image.

very clever…god style and superb tones….

you better take petrol

Amazing place Paul…great atmospher. Love to be there by my own one day! oh by the way, Who is that handsome model? ;-)

Love the starkness here Paul, terrific use of surreal tones. The sign is a real bonus.

Mad Max move over! Like your style :)

Fantastic!!!!!!!!!!

There you go again – your distinctive tones, the isolation, the immaculate processing … WOW.

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!

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

Thats some space !

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

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

Like the colors

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….

Love the attitude:) Excellent work!

awesome image.

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

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.

great title lovely clean shot

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 …

Awesome picture! Beautiful

Love your space paul, awesome shot!

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!

love your style your presenting on red bubble

I love the empty desolate feel of this.

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!

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!

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 !!!

stunning paul, love the desolation

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

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!!!

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..

Very bold and stark Paul… great shot. Wendy

other worldly

awesome shot,,,,love the isolation,,,well done

Excellent comp, looks like a scene from a James Dean movie, great isolation mood coming from this one :)

wow great shot

my eyes are very large right now .. not sure what to say .. that’s a definate space.

incredible image .. you’ve captured the essence so well.

LOL MySpace!!! That’s brilliant! And you’ve captured this brilliant place so well!!

I love the contrast between single, albeit powerful, figure and the vast open sky. Wonderful image Paul.

Such a cool image…..love the stance and the colours in the background…a work of art!!

this is farking brilliant

You dominate this image with a nonchalant expression. And try as I will to work my way around the image, to take in the awesome petrol station and expanse of space, my eye is always on you. I can’t conceive that you are possibly bored with the environment you’re in…..for it looks to be thrilling.

So I’m left pondering what you are trying to convey. HELP?

Thanks Paul :))) I see it now and yes I have had a few of those moments with the world.

classic.

I obviously ended up totally speechless and fingerless after looking at this, because I haven’t commented yet. hmmm….I think I still am, can’t type, can’t speak….you are just so THERE!

yeah that’s the stuff!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOVE it!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wonderful Work

I went looking for a perfectly straight horizon…..however, I just got lost in your portfolio again….

First off, I love the Arizona desert. Second, love the depiction, here. I can’t wait to get back! Nice work!

Seriously cool, seriously good. You create some very iconic images.

Great shot and perspective Paul!!! You and the environment all around you,
what a great theory as well as conception!!! Love this fabulous image!!!xx*
