Darius Kinsey (1869–1945) was an American photographer celebrated for his monumental, fifty-year documentation of the timber industry, early railways, and wilderness landscape of the Pacific Northwest. Born in Maryville, Missouri, Kinsey moved to Washington State in 1889, where he taught himself photography and established studio operations in Snoqualmie and Sedro-Woolley before settling in Seattle. Using large-format view cameras and glass-plate negatives, he ventured into remote logging camps to capture the scale of massive old-growth redwoods and cedars, giant locomotives, and the rugged, perilous working lives of lumberjacks. His passion for documenting the region's wilderness and industry was shared by his family; his brother Clarke Kinsey was also a prominent timber industry photographer who extensively documented logging camps in Western Washington, while another brother, Clarence Kinsey, photographed the Klondike Gold Rush in the Yukon before joining Clarke in logging photography. Assisted throughout his career by his wife, Tabitha, who meticulously processed and printed his negatives at home, Kinsey produced tens of thousands of photographs that serve today as an irreplaceable historical record of early 20th-century industrial labor and the North American wilderness.
