Biography

Born in Utah in 1938, Douglas Kent Hall is a writer, poet, and filmmaker as well as a photographer. His photography has focused on New Mexico's unique mix of people and places, with subjects ranging from ancient ruins to portraits of people in urban Albuquerque, from New Mexico's churches to bodybuilders and rodeo cowboys. Years ago, Hall settled into northern New Mexico's Rio Grande area and began photographing the Matachines, or masked ceremonial dancers, that emphasize the region's cultural and historical value. Hall's images are found in museums in Taos, Albuquerque, Santa Fe, New York, and at Princeton University. Many of his books and compiled works can be found in the Fine Arts Library and Zimmerman Library at UNM.
