The other is in the centre and wearing a purple swim suit. Both have brown hair. There are three men behind them, two with visibly dark hair. Two are leaning down, and one is standing. One of the leaning down men is shirtless and holding a cup. More cups are on the ground on there left. There is also a wooden palette on the left behind the cups.
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 two boys sitting on a log in the water with their underwear on. They look extremely similar and bother short hair. They're looking and smiling at the camera. It looks like they are in a river. In the background is a bunch of rocks and a few sticks.

Photos of early Kitimat life, including Hans W. Harnoth and Shirley Harnoth, parents of Harry Harnoth. Hans. W. Harnoth was born in Berlin but immigrated to Kitimat after hearing about job opportunities at Alcan. Hans and Shirley Harnoth were in Kitimat from 1955-1958, and always ranted and raved about how beautiful Kitimat was and all the wonders it has to offer.
