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.

Photograph showing several elderly people sitting at a table playing cards, drinking what looks like coffee, eating cookies and smoking. It looks like they're in a light coloured brick room with carpet flooring and a mirror on the wall. In the background of the photograph there is another table with some more chairs at it and one wheelchair over by the mirror. A couple of the women have purses beside them or off to the other side of the table. All of the people seem to be wearing semi-formal clothing.
