Photograph of the interior of the power station control room at Alcan in Kitimat. Two men are sitting at a desk facing away from the camera. The man on the right appears to be on the phone. There is a door on the left with a calendar on it, and the left wall also has a clock. Across from the men and desk is a large control panel.
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.
