Photograph of an aerial of a possible transmission line camp clearing. There is a single white building visible in the clearing. Surrounding area is forest, and behind is the shoreline of the Douglas Channel. Streams can be seen flowing into it. In the water on the right a log boom can be seen.
From the years 1953-1958, Mike Kinnear took photos during his school years, until graduation, while working for Fred Ryan Ltd. after school and holidays. Photos for him was a hobby, and he took many photos of the smelter and townsite as it grew around him. Mike also took a number of photos for the Kitimat Northern Sentinel, during the Ken Brumley and Pixie Meldrum years as editors. Mike and his family left Kitimat in 1958, but he spent the best part of 40 years in the photographic field, mainly in the retail/wholesale part of the photo industry.
