Dry Land Canoeing (1927)

Two men and two women sitting inside a canoe that is resting entirely on dry beach sand, holding paddles. — Dry Land Canoeing (1927) · Donald A. Hall Estate Collection

In another display of his great sense of humor, Donald A. Hall Sr. orchestrated this 1927 timed self-portrait of his group "paddling" a canoe resting completely on dry sand. The staged photograph is a delightful artifact of his playful personality.
