Photography

From an early age Liam was a keen photographer.  He took many photographs of friends and neighbours in Tuam and later of his family.  A number of his glass plates have survived the various raids on his home by both the RIC and Free State Army as well as the many house moves during his life.  
Above is the original of the 'selfie',  Liam lined up his camera and took this photo of himself!
