House Hunting

Todd Hido has a special knack of capturing the dark side of suburbia. Its like the rundown dream of what Owens captured in its hay day. Owens captured a lighter more functional side of the suburban life, and Hido portrays the cryptic decay of dysfunction over time. It is quite striking. I relate to Hido's view of suburbia as I grew up in the rundown barrios of San Jose, but have always coveted how Owens captures middle America. They portray two sides of the same coin.
