Carnegie-Illinois Steel Mill
Nov. 1941. Etna, Pennsylvania. “Blast furnaces and ore at the Carnegie-Illinois Steel mills.”

The wonderful aspect of this type of photography is the details. In my opinion, modern digital photography lacks the depth. Click here and see some amazing details. This is from a 4×5 Kodachrome transparency by United States Office of War Information photographer Alfred Palmer via Shorpy.com.

The author, Sean Kinney, is an idealistic pragmatist and unapologetic Yankee, priding himself on being a dog's best friend. In turns he has been an entrepreneur, writer, middle-school teacher, car salesman and sailor but always a skeptical and good-humored student of the Universe. Most importantly he believes in the positive attributes of humanity. Currently, he lives in Wisconsin's Saint Croix River Valley where he is working to build a railroad on an old steel mill and writing about his golden-doodle and being perpetually cold.
