Frontier Spirit

This book showcases evocative pictures of Southwestern churches taken by Douglas Kent Hall, a well-known documentary photographer. Originally from New York, Hall moved to the small village of Alcalde in northern New Mexico. He spent time travelling throughout the Southwest and along the Mexico-U.S. border in the 1980s gathering material for two photographic books. In this volume, Hall takes us to the most celebrated churches, such as the majestic San Xavier del Bac near Tucson, as well as to the most obscure, providing images that demonstrate the beautiful variety found in these sacred buildings.
