I love restoring old photos. It is a great passion of mine .Bringing back to life treasured memories make  wonderful gifts to pass on to children who can see photos of their grandparents and relatives which help them understand and cherish their family history.

This particular illustration was one of the trickiest photographs I had ever undertaken. As you can see the photo came to me in pieces and like a jigsaw we put these pieces together but in doing so discovered vital information missing .I contacted Mr. Barry Desmond (former TD) who collects historical photographs and asked him if he could help.

We poured through his book and archives and managed to find a photo taken from almost the same angle that same year. Using the correct lighting, I took a photo of the photo.

Then, like a jigsaw, I pieced together the missing pieces of the damaged photo from the photo from the photo I had taken. I then spent a considerable amount of time making the images seamless, removing scratches, marks, faded sections, water damaged areas etc until I finally produced this photo- restoring the old and damaged photo to its former glory and preserving a bit of history.

The owner of the photo was astounded by the work .He thought it was beyond repair .This gave me a great sense of satisfaction to witness how delighted he was with the results.
