Collecting Archival Images

I have collected a variety of archival images which link to my Grandpa some from before I was born and others from in my lifetime. some of them have direct links to the poems others have more personal connections. I want to incorporate these photos along with the scans of poem notes to create context in the book. I also find these images of my grandpa very interesting because they are from before I was born, and for me give me a insight into his life before I knew him. 

 

I have layers up the scans I made previously with the archival images on photoshop to create my own work from them, I have used drop shadows under each layer to make them stand off the page. I also tried to correlate the colours of the paper and colours of the vintage photos where possible. I want to use these edits within my book to split up my own photographs and give the view something different to look at.
