Photograph of Kitimat homes. The homes are a bit further back. The foreground area is cleared, and it looks like a road is being constructed in the foreground. There is a cluster of trees on the right, and a forest behind the homes. Snow covered Mount Elizabeth in the background Cloudy day.
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.
