I'm working on several projects this weekend, but want to add a fun one that I completed years ago. I found several undated early snapshots of Rathfriland and Hilltown on ebay and had to buy them. When I visited Ireland in 2005 I went about recreating the images. The original photos are certainly from the early 1900's. The Graham's were gone by then, but the images were probably fairly close to what they would have seen before leaving for America. It was a blast to figure out exactly where the photos were taken from and to recreate them.
