More Information
Describing his interest in pictures like Untitled (#2421) Diptych, Todd Hido has said “I take photographs of houses at night because I wonder about the families inside them. I wonder about how people live, and the act of taking that photograph is a meditation.” To keep this meditation open for viewers to participate in, the photographer does not show people in his pictures, leaving light coming through windows as the only sign of activity. Though he is based in San Francisco, Hido grew up in Kent and often returns to Ohio, where he took this pair of pictures of the same house at different times of year.
