Volume 1 of the Crude Metaphors collection brings together the photographs of Todd Hido and the words of Amanda Schiff to produce After Her.
"Terri makes another sweep past the motel off the highway, slowing to shoot a few frames through the passenger window. It's 3am and all the rooms are dark. Freezing snow rushes towards her, suspended in the dazzling glare of neon yellow strip lighting. The last room of the end block is silhouetted against a black curtain of night where scrubland begins." After Her, Amanda Schiff
