Peter Winants, editor of The Chronicle of the Horse, spoke of Hawkins’ photos: “In photography, it’s so important to create dimension. He had that ability. It stamped his work. You could look at a picture and say, hey, Marshall Hawkins did that. In his racing pictures, he had a sense of timimg; he’d wait for that action, wait for that group.
“When I first started taking pictures, he used an old combat camera. He wasn’t going to switch over to the 35mm cameras we young people were using,” Winants said.
Warrenton photographer Robert McClanahan, who knew Hawkins for many years, said of him, “He was a photographer that had that special eye and a touch of class.”
Just before the photographer’s death, a book titled “A Field of Horses,” featuring prime examples of 50 years of Hawkins’ work, was published. James L. Young, Master of the Orange County Hunt, wrote a text to complement the pictures, and Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis penned its foreword.
Survivors include his widow, Lucille, of Warrenton; a son, T.L. Hawkins, of McLean; two daughters, Marsha Smith of Jacksonville, Fla., and Joan T. Hawkins, of Warrenton; one sister, Betty Inge, of Niceville, Fla., and one granddaughter, Merilee Smith.
Burial was in the Warrenton Cemetery.
