Testimonials
"Samples doesn't go for the glamour shot, he captures your story in black and white or lively color, saturated grain or flurry of motion, an averted eye or with a cocktail of paramours. His lens not only doesn't lie, it listens and your life story begins."
- Dallas Observer
"Hal Samples Artist Missionary is a Dallas-based photographer currently working on a project to raise awareness and proceeds for the homeless needs in Dallas. Hal is currently using his talents in photography, as he hopes to encourage others to take a closer look at themselves and the face of homelessness in Dallas. Based on experiences and the path his life has taken he believes that others can be inspired to make life changes. Through this project a momentum will be developed to fuel inner city movements to help cure and re-educate the homeless, and inspire others who have the potential to make a difference to take action."

"The only truly innovative development I’ve seen recently (I’m sure there are others I don’t know about, so please draw my attention to them if I’m being ignorant) is what Hal Samples has in mind for his gallery, Space. (You can read my long-winded blathering about what I think it means here, if you have some more time to kill.) But the innovation and the beauty in those plans of Hal’s come from the simplicity of the idea and the respect for the area as a whole - culturally and historically. The fact that it does so while also addressing the current needs of Deep Ellum and Dallas…well, that’s where the genius comes in. In my opinion."
