A look at our past through the camera of a genius.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Kinsey Photographer (Hardcover)
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

Kinsey Photographer of the Pioneering West,

This review is from: Kinsey Photographer (Hardcover)
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

This review is from: Kinsey Photographer (Hardcover)
We just think this book is the best book on way back when. Kinsey was a great protographer. You can take a magafine glass and you can see the blood vessels in the hands of the loggers. Unbelieveable the clearness of the pictures.
