Del Hall stands as one of the few journalists able to chart their
careers through the milestones and icons of the late twentieth
century -- the civil rights movement, Vatican II, the Beatles'
arrival in the United States, Martin Luther King, Jr., John F.
Kennedy, the1968 Chicago Riots, the Vietnam War, the rise and fall
of the Berlin Wall. Hall's humble beginnings on the gritty downtown
streets of Depression-era New Orleans proved an ample launching pad
for a six-decade profession documenting key moments in world
affairs, all while staying ahead of the many technological shifts
that revolutionized news media. With the aid of previously
unpublished photographs and stills, critically acclaimed geographer
and author Richard Campanella turns the focus around to the Emmy
Award--winning photojournalist and presents the life of a quiet
observer who captured critical episodes in American history. From
Hall's start in New Orleans at WWL-TV covering lunch-counter
sit-ins and the integration of schools in the Ninth Ward to his
lauded work for CBS News, filming Walter Cronkite, 60 Minutes, and
Charles Kuralt, Campanella commemorates Hall's remarkable
contributions to journalism as the field expanded from print to
television. This visually captivating and lively biography follows
Hall as he is chased by the Ku Klux Klan, shot at by the Viet Cong,
journeys to Moscow to cover President Nixon's historic visit, and
almost dies in a helicopter crash at the America's Cup race.
Campanella traces the life of a tireless documentarian and pioneer
who not only photographed history as it happened, but also filmed
one of the first full-color TV documentaries and redefined
nonlinear computerized editing. The Photojournalism of Del Hall:
New Orleans and Beyond, 1950s--2000s serves as a testament to the
immense impact of the oft-overlooked and uncredited role of the
cameraman, rightfully placing Del Hall in the vanguard of the
profession.
