This series consists of negatives, contact sheets, color transparencies (slides), manuscripts, research, interviews, correspondence, and reviews for Douglas Kent Hall's published photography books. Hall published fine art photography books, illustrated histories, and instructional manuals illustrated with photographs for demonstration.
Some series of photographs were used for more than publication, as is the case with the prison photographs used as source material for both In Prison and Prison Tattoos. Hall would also reprint images for exhibitions many years after they were initially photographed, as is the case with the Rock and Roll series initially created in the 1960s and 1970s, but reprinted in the 1990s and 2000s. For this reason contact sheets, negatives and transparencies are arranged with the first publication that they appeared in or were compiled for.
This subseries is arranged chronologically.
Photography began in 1967 as part of a freelance promotional project for Sunn Amplification and lasted until 1970. Hall arranged the "Rock Star" negatives, contact sheets and transparencies by the name of the musician or band pictured, hence they are not numbered like the other photograph series. For this reason, bands and individuals have been listed at the file level, along with manuscript notations from the negative sleeves (which sometimes include venue information). Venues include: The Apollo, Fillmore East, Fillmore West, the Whisky a Go-Go, Café a Go-Go, The Pavilion, and Tanglewood.
Includes correspondence and reprinted contact sheets for the exhibition Jimi Hendrix: The Ultimate Experience and the film 27. Model releases are photocopies.
