Before he was drafted, George Kollar followed his father into employment in Johnstown's steel mills. He would later photograph the mills, documenting the fortunes and downturns of the steel industry. His exhibition, Steel Remembered, included 85 photos that were exhibited at the Johnstown Flood Museum and Bloomfield ArtWorks in 1998. He framed some of these photographs in industry artifacts originally used to cast steel molds.
