I'm not a person who can just go and photograph anything. I've never been a street or documentary photographer, where the whole world is out there to be discovered and photographed. That's never compelled me. There has to be something that pulls me in; I have to have a reason to press the shutter. I think that there's something essential about the impulse to record something; I don't take pictures just to take pictures. There has to be something about a place or a person that I recognize, that I need to record or remember or think about again.

From the book: Todd Hido On Landscapes, Interiors and the Nude
