Hall's work has been published in textbooks, magazines including National Geographic , as well as shown in juried art exhibitions around the United States. In the summer of 2006, Bruce won a "highly honored" award in the Nature's Best Photography Magazine Windland Rice Smith International Awards Competition. The winning photograph "Giant Kelp" was on display at the National Museum of Natural History at the Smithsonian, Washington D.C. from October 2006 until October 2007.

Bruce lives in Irvine, CA with his wife and three children. He left teaching in 2003, and devotes his time to advocating for autism awareness, and issues related to the blind. He continues to study photography, working with a close group of creative and provocative souls to pursue future projects. Current projects include work with the Blind Photographers Guild, Sacramento, CA, continued study of the underwater landscape of southern California, and a long-term (lifelong) project dealing with his twin sons' profound autism.
