House Hunting responce

                  After listening to "House Hunting" by Todd Hido, it gave me a different outlook on what the suburbs are. When comparing Todd Hido's perspective on the suburbs to Bill Owens and Patricia Lahrmer's work, I found that they are very different from Hidos. Owens photography and Lahrmer's article to me shows that the suburbs is a boring place to be, but yet a great place to raise a family. Hido on the other hand has a very different view of the suburbs. One of the pictures described that Hido took was of a house with two lights on, one up stairs and one down stairs. Hido also explained a picture he once took of a house but this time with two T.V. lights on, one upstairs and one downstairs. Hido explained that two people that live in the same house watch T.V. in two separate rooms, he exclaimed that he saw this a lot. People just want their own space when they are home. A women in the broadcasting said that Todd Hido's photography of the suburbs scares her. The women said that he takes pictures of homes with people living in them, but the homes come across as "emotionally vacant". From what I have learn about Todd Hido, is he thinks that the suburbs is a lonely place. A place where people live there but that is it. A place where people aren't friendly and want to be left alone in their own space. Todd Hido shows the other side of the suburbs, the gloomy side.
