Hill's portrait of postwar America and Europe, spanning 70 years This volume compiles over seven decades of work by American photographer John T. Hill (born 1934), showing the remarkable scope and empathy of his vision. From a street scene in S???o Paulo in 1958 to the interior of a Queens taxi in 1970, from John F.
