Hope Street

your ability to turn the suberbian urbane into art is amazing to me. the delicate light treatment goes a long way into sprucing up this little cottage. very clean. well done.

This is incredible Paul!! Fantastic shot!

You can turn anything into an amazing piece of art Paul. Congrats! You are so talented :)

Great work this looks fantastic!!!

Love what you’ve done with this- awesome

I like this, Paul. The dreamy look with the so-common suburban theme raises the mundane to the extraordinary :)

beautifully shot, wonderfully titled… great work and love the subject matter so much!

Fine shot and treatment Paul.

Great title too, Hope Street, sounds like the title of a Bruce Springsteen song.

Thank you all for being so positive! Put a smile on my face today! :D

Oh and I wish I could actually take all the credit for the title but alas this house is actually in Hope St. Brunswick! :D

Excellent treatment Paul

Thanks so much amarica, Mel, Jessica and Sharon! :D

Great stuff Paul, you’ve made a very ordinary scene look special.

You amaze me, this is perfect. No more needs to be said.

I really love your suburban architectural stuff PLV. It’s wonderful.

nice work all round

Thanks so much Jodie, midzing, Adrian, Rhys, Melinda and Leith! :D

Good one Paul.
Thought it may have been a house in Yarraville, but just saw your note about it being in Brunswick.

Brilliant, as always Paul !!!! You truly are a Maestro !! I had to stop and think about the Hope St too, as I worked in a Funeral Parlour in Hope St, Geelong West, for years, and didn’t remember this house !!

nice capture…. presented well

Thank you very kindly Jared, Phil and gemlenz! :D

Growing up in Brusnwick….how could I not love this!? : ) great image Paul… and thanks for the memories! Wendy

excellent treatment of a lovely looking house – excellent piece!

Wonderful capture and treatment Paul. These houses are starting to become a thing of the past out in the bush.

Very nice work Paul, love it

Wonderful work! Your processing is immaculate.

I do love how you make the ordinary look extraordinary Paul. Wonderful work.

.............sigh I got here late so can I just ditto all the really cool comments above? No? Unoriginal you say? Lacking in thought you mutter? Well that just wont do…

You make suburbia look so pretty Paul! Okay… you can slap me later ;)

Geez Paul…..I almost want to take this house, put it in my bag and run away with it. It’s so sweet and you get the feeling these days people just want to pull them down and build a bunch of new shit. I love it! Eee! ;p

You have an amazing way of making the ordinary look simply stunning!

love the overall soft touch – very nice.

Your comments are so positive, thank you all so very much! sweetscent62, Andy, Noelene, Dave, Darren, Andrew, Rhana, LittleHelen, Jen and Kurt! :D

great work!!

Thanks heaps Oli! :D

great work like always

Thanks heaps Jerry! :D

I think each area of Aus has their own standard type homes…..........I have seen this type in Vic but they are so different here in Qld….........could be a great project to travel the country and take pics of houses that are representational of each area…................

Your welcome to stay here when you get this far…........LOL
xkc

Awwww, that’s sweet of you!! Might have to take you up on your offer! :D
Thanks Karen! :D

Justwhen I thought there would be no more, another fab addition. Too cool mate!

Wow. Looks great.

Your suburbian images are just amazing. With this I feel a kind of hypnotic pull to those windows…want to look in! Awesome Paul :)
Another one that’s going straight to the pool room :)

Thanks so very kindly Hannah and Louise!! :D
Now Louise, I hope this pool room comes fully equiped with a 12’ by 6’ snooker table and bar?

A dream quality about it ….

Thanks heaps Priscilla, Trueman and ArtOfficialArt! :D

Love the treatment.

Thank you kindly Pompiliu! :D

..had to come back to this paul – find documenting shots like this very fascinating… allows you study and appreciate the image slowly and carefully, even cringe at the brickwork and wonder about the architecture… also love your treatment!

Too kind! :D Thank you Paul!
