#2077, from the series House Hunting, 1997

by Todd Hido

Description
Aperture is pleased to offer this very special limited-edition photograph by acclaimed photographer Todd Hido from his series House Hunting. Photographed in the foggy Bay Area of California, he started working on this series in 1996 while cruising through the San Francisco suburbs at night. By way of long exposure and intense color, the images results are both beautiful and disturbing.

"This is one of the earlier images from the series. I drive, I drive a lot. People ask me how I find my pictures. I tell them I drive around. I drive and drive and I mostly don't find anything that is interesting to me. But then, something calls out. Something that looks sort of off or maybe an empty space. Sometimes it's a sad scene. I like that kind of stuff. So I take the photos and some are good. And so I keep driving and looking and taking pictures."
