Description: 1/3000. Oblong folio (11 1/4 x 14 1/4"). Unpaginated. (56pp.) Original photo-illustrated dustjacket over grey cloth, with black lettering to spine of dustjacket. Todd Hido's "Roaming" is a "collection of 25 color photographs capturing the tension in the most mundane of scenes and the subtle eeriness of suburbia. These landscapes continue Hido's mastery in portraying the most mundane scenes with a menacing air of expectancy. The unpeopled pictures, often taken through a car windshield, are so effective in creating tension they might almost have been staged. But in fact, they are taken 'as seen;' the telegraph poles, the straggling tree, the road leading nowhere (or at least to an unknown other, unseen space) are all exactly as encountered by the photographer as he drove through Eastern Washington State, the California Central Valley, Indiana, South Louisiana, and beyond. Includes "The Phone Booth," a poem by Raymond Carver." (From the Publishers).
