Todd Hido was born in 1968 in Kent Ohio. He grew up on Denise Drive, a cul-de-sac in the suburbs. Though he lives in the urban center now -- the San Francisco Bay Area to be exact -- hes til now attracted to the suburbs as subjects for his workplace. Others that pictorial mattergraph suburbia are Robert Adams and Lewis Baltz.

Hido is a semblanceation picturegrapher, who shoots suburban houses, seen from outside and inside, often taken in the eventide or at night. He uses available light and yen exposures to create an incredible slightly haunting, and mysterious view of suburbia. These unsung spaces are both attractive and repulsive, and bring out questions closely the stories, which lie behind them. The insides are the homes whose previous owners have defaulted on their mortgages - and bear marks of sad lives and hurried departures. The subjects and light and color link Hido more to an early 20th century American realist tradition of a Hido often creates groups or compositions of his images in an indorsement grid pattern which suggests the physical gaps in neighborhoods.

        This is a photo of a slightly red shadow of a manoeuver on the side of a house. As usual this figure was taken at night and used a persistent shutter speed. He didnt center the subject wish a snapshot but instead shifted it to the right passing negative space at the left. This makes your eyes wander most the photo.



It makes me think about where the tree is and where the light is coming from. The photo feels questionable and makes you think and wander a lot, about what is in the house, why is the tree reflected on the house, etc.

        This photographers work is interesting, and enjoyable. In a sense it makes me think of my past, or only if the past in general, with the shag carpet and the ugly wallpapers. sometimes it does matter what you take a picture of not unsloped that it looks cool, but the subject can give a dissimilar meaning or attract different viewers.
