He worked as an itinerant photographer for several years, until meeting Tabitha May Pritts at Nooksack, Washington.
Darius gave up studio work and focused instead on the lumber industry and scenic photography.
Tabitha developed the negatives and made the prints, which were sent back to the logging camps and sold to the loggers.
Darius used an 11" X 14" Empire State view camera with a custom made tripod that could extend twelve feet high.
Darius' brother Clark Kinsey was also a photographer of early 20th Century logging in Washington.
