Kinsey Photographer of the Pioneering West May 19, 2000
6 out of 8 found this review helpful
In this over size tome, Rodolfo Petschek & Dave Bohn have culled from Kinsey's 4,500 extant negatives, a magnificent collection of duotone photographs. Together with memorabilia of this loving working couple's marriage & contributions by their children this is one amazing family album! A must for anyone interested in early photography & pioneering the great Northwest. END
A look at our past through the camera of a genius. February 12, 1997
11 out of 11 found this review helpful
The genius of Darius and Tabitha Kinsey becomes clear early on in this book. Mr. Kinsey roamed the Pacific Northwest, visiting logging camps and homesteads to photograph the people there. All photographs are make on glass plates ranging in size from 8"x10" to 20"X24". Plates were shipped back to Tabitha who would develop them and make prints which Darius would sell to the subjects. On one level, these are formal portraits of working men, women and their machines. And yet, the humanity of every subject somehow shines through. These are not faces staring into a camera lens. These are people caught in a moment, telling us of their lives from times long past. The photographs can stand alone or be viewed as a history of life in hard times
