This particular picture is interesting to look at.  Me personally i like night and dusk pictures becasue the colors of the sky are blue and beautiful.  The lights from the sign and from the cafe brighten up the image and makes me want to look at it more and more.  Each time i look at this image i see something new that i didnt see before.  I like the ice cream cone on the top of the sign becasuse it just pops.  I love the feel of this image becasue it gives a hometown feeling like this cafe is just around the corner from where i grew up.  I like the vignette becasue it focuses the eye in the middle where all the lights and centerpoint of the sky resides :)

Artist:	Todd Hido
Title:	7373
Year:	2009
Medium:	Chromogenic print I have to say Todd Hido is one of my favorite artists of all time.  His work is amazing.  His work i can relate to with my life because it seems like he takes his photographs from all diferent areas and neighborhoods in the world, during different seasons and etc., I too have also moved all over the world and some of these photographs gives me a homely feeling like i have seen these places.  Also this photograph seems so "real" and scary.  The lights contrast the sky and the image is beautifully done.

I think this artist has a very fun and hilarious creative eye.  The scotch tape series is fun to look at because the people in them have distorted faces and the images itself are sharp.  The shadows and highlights work very well.  This artwork is one of my favorites
