George Harold Hruby is an international poet, writer, historian, film director, and photographer. By the age of 18, his poetry was already recognized by the World Congress of Poets.[1] He had been discovered by Poet Laureate, Dr. Stella Woodall.[2]
On October 3, 1975, she introduced him to Dr. Hubertus Strughold[3], Professor of Space Medicine at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) at the time. The encounter occurred at a Texas-held poetry seminar in San Antonio. It was here that Hruby was first shown by Dr. Woodall the technique of seeing a photograph and writing poetry to it. Strughold would later write the foreword for her 1975 publication, “Anthology of Texas Poems,” which features one of Hruby’s earliest compositions.
Taking a liking to him, both became his mentors in poetry. Some of Hruby’s most compelling pieces are inspired by select artists from around the world. By 1977, he emerged as a pioneer in developing the technique of ‘writing on location’ from around the world. His first works came from Suicide Cliffs in Okinawa, Japan. By the 21st century, this style of writing would later be called “geo-locative” writing.
As an international photographer, his street and night photography have over time garnered an expansive universal following on social media. Additionally, the same is true of his camera artistry surrounding ancient ruins and candid profiles of people in developing countries.
Hruby is the author of several non-fiction books, including The Battle of San Pasqual – Search for John Cox[4]; Eyes of Blue – The Final Victim of Jack-the-Ripper[5]; and Midnight on the Custer Battlefield[6]. Also, his work as a research historian during his tenure as Director of the San Pasqual Battlefield Site Location Project has been widely acknowledged by the California State Parks and other local organizations.[7]
In 2003, Hruby wrote, produced, and directed The Returning[8], which was released to the Independent Film Festival Circuit in 2007. In later years, upon leaving the United States and residing in France, he founded, and helmed as the Chief Executive Officer, Dig France, a corporation dedicated to private archaeological digs state-wide. Overseeing an excavation at Château Leymonie de Maupas in 2013, his Roman-focused research resulted in the discovery of an entirely unknown suspected Roman Grand-Villa in Issac, just across from Château de Montréal. His collective skills as a research historian inspired the creation of Bordeaux Ghost Tours.
