"This
Was Logging!" Selected Photographs of Darius Kinsey
by Darius; Andrews, Ralph W. Kinsey
Hardcover from Superior
No industry in the Pacific Northwest has been closer to the hearts of
the people than lumbering. It concerns trees which are growing things and
for which people have a deep affection. It concerns great enterprise and
activity in producing a basic commodity in which a large share of the people
have had a part. It concerns the harvesting of a crop which has been vital
to the growth of the nation and other nations and has returned untold dollar
wealth to the Pacific Northwest.
"This Was Logging!" then is the writer's selection of the best
of Darius Kinsey. When Jesse E. Ebert approached him with the fact that
he had purchased the 8000-odd 11" x 14" negatives and prints, and wanted
to do something more with them, plans were made to build a book. Albert
Salisbury and his Superior Publishing Company in Seattle entered the plan
and took over the publication responsibility. In this way a story which
might well have been lost is told here and promises to live for generations.
This book is not a "complete" anything. It is not a history of logging
photographically or otherwise. It contains about 200 reproductions of outstanding
photographs Darius Kinsey took in the woods, a brief biography of the man
and a few highlights of text to give meaning and interest to the pictures.
At least five times as many good photographs had to be omitted. It should
be mentioned that first and last, Darius Kinsey was a photographer, as
Stewart Holbrook has said..."in the Matthew Brady tradition." |
