Todd Hido is best known for his photographs of haunting suburbia in "Homes at night". Hido uses only available light and long exposures that make these saturated images come to life. He gets inspiration by driving around at night taking pictures on anything that captures his eyes. The reason why I decided to pick this image because it has horror elements. If we take a look around at the photograph we see horror elements such as the long lonely road, cloudy with rain, and the sense of loneliness. It didn't just catch my attention because of the horror aspect but the more I started to stare at it, I felt as if my journey will be long and tiring. As of right now I am stressed and can't get enough sleep. Looking at this picture makes me feel like the road ahead of me is going to be long, but yet worth it. As if the light at the end is what I am trying to reach.
