Todd Hido, who now lives in San Francisco, was born and grew up in Kent, Ohio.

Description

This image belongs to a series of Northern European landscapes that evoke the concept in Nordic mythology of Fimbulwinter, or the great, or endless, winter. This vast, barren frozen wasteland evokes a far more apocalyptic vision of the season than we experience in Northeast Ohio.
