Todd Hido's Fragmented Narratives.

Hey, it's a link!! <---

Todd Hido's Fragmented Narratives captures the intersections of photography and life and exploits them to create a dramatic yet understated poetry. Absences haunt each one of these photographs, whether that be an object with out a person, or a person with out a context. The outside world is always depicted with the dramatic quality of a dream. Like television sets, houses leak rectangles of electricity from their windows onto a bare ground that fades into the night. There are no humans here despite all the indicators: tire tracks in the snow, a Dodge pick up in the drive way. These are photographs of memories of night. Maybe belonging to the women in the series who sit in hotel rooms (mostly naked) giving melancholic stares that allude to the existential sadness of their narratives. Hido understands that photographs lie but he also understands that we are more than willing to get lost in it.
