DARIUS KINSEY Anderson & Middleton, North River 1918, Silver Collodion Print 10x12.8" ASG# DK/1040 title and Credit in Negative.

Taken in North River, Grays Harbor County, WA. this view of 24 Lumbermen and workers in their hats and daily work clothes pose for the commissioned photographs Kinsey was doing of lumber yards in Oregon and Washington.

Darius Kinsey (1869-1945) began photography in his early twenties starting a studio in Sedro-Woolley, Washington in 1897. His brother Clark joined the venture and they moved to Seattle where they were one of the most active studios. Often using an 11x14 Eastman View camera, he photographed the entire logging process: early mornings in logging camps; the fallers posed with their axes, cross-cut saws and springboards; buckers crosscutting fallen timber; loading operations with steam donkey engines and ginpoles; logging railroads hauling their loads to Northwest mills. His images form a visual history of logging from skid road logging with horses and sleds at the turn of the century to Diamond-T logging trucks and logging operations in the 1920s.
