cowboys & aliens
in the 1970s hall lived in new york but spent much time traveling. his work included writing a book about rodeo titled "let er buck"; writing and codirecting a feature documentary film about rodeo titled "the great american cowboy", which won an academy award for best feature-length documentary; and publishing a photography book titled "rodeo", which was followed in the early 1980s by another book about cowboys, this one about ranch cowboys, titled "working cowboys". mark strand writes, "these cowboys, as opposed to urban cowboys, drugstore cowboys, rodeo cowboy, or movie cowboys, stay on horseback all day long working cattle. and when they stand in front of the camera—in hall's best photos, they are standing, looking straight into the camera lens—their detached way of life shows." the 1970s also saw the publication of hall's second novel, "rock and roll retreat blues". significantly, in 1974, hall exhibited his photographs for the first time, at the whitney museum of american art in new york. the exhibition and accompanying catalog, "photography in america", is where the public first viewed the now iconic photograph "mesquite, texas".
