Old photos

I've been scanning old family photographs, and have been lucky enough to find some very old documents (wedding licenses, birth certificates, etc.) Along with those, I found this letter written around 1889 and is a report of my grandfather's conduct in school. The photograph is of my maternal grandfather, Harry Roberts and was taken in Los Angeles around 1940. He was born and raised in the London, England area. What a lucky find!

Using techniques I learned from Carol Leigh's recent montage class (www.photoexplorations.com) I was able to combine the photograph with the handwritten note. I still consider this a work-in-progress and am now exploring this whole area of combining old photos and old documents.
