John Hoagland

One of the victims of the war was photojournalist John Hoagland (1947-84). His photographic career had started in 1970, videoing the Chicano Moratorium anti-war movement in Los Angeles and he moved to El Salvador in 1979, working for the French Gamma agency and Newsweek, for which he had five cover pictures. Together with Susan Meiselas he had a lucky escape in 1981 when his car ran over a land mine. Hoagland and Meiselas escaped with injuries but the third person in the car, Ian Mates, died. After a period covering the war in Beirut in 1983-4 he returned to El Salvador, marrying a Salvadoran.

His work in El Salvador was a clear and sometimes devastating account of what was happening, showing the bodies left on the ground by the death squads, a mother holding the body of her dead son and other horrific scenes. On the evidence of the work on the web he was a highly competent photographer who was seriously involved in recording the war and giving a truthful account of how he saw it. His last six frames, found in his camera, record his own death, and were analysed by Richard Astle for 'Wasted Space'. They show Hoagland a few yards from a pair of Salvadoran soldiers on an empty road. One turns towards him and apparently sees he is taking pictures. The next to last frame, shot as he was falling shows the tip of his show and the last picture ' is of the Salvadoran soil, his adoptive country.'

The digital file of the photograph ( http://thedagger.com/archive/elsal/lastsix.gif ) represents an E38 Image as an immaterial product.
