June's looking busy!

So here's what's in the pipeline, because June's looking like a busy month. 

For a few days over the first couple of weeks of June I'm going out with Jamie from REVEAL Scotland to meet and photograph the other featured artists from the website. Jamie is producing a magazine later this year and he's asked me to do the photography for it, which is really cool.

As soon as the tickets arrive for Edinburgh Zoo I'm off out to photograph it, and write up a review for the disabled access website Able2uk www.able2uk.com I'm really looking forward to doing this review, and I'm hoping someone from the zoo will be available to help me get some good positions for some cracking images.

Then it's time to photograph the latest addition to the Project Inspiration list, Ian Rankin. A world-famous author who's books have been turned into TV shows, and a household name, I was absolutely delighted on friday night when Ian agreed to participate and I'm very happy with his enthusiasm. I'm bouncing a few ideas around just now, so watch this space. In a few weeks time.

Then towards the tail end of the month I'm shooting Dougie MacLean up in Dunkeld. REALLY looking forward to that too, especially because I've been listening to his music since I was a kid and can even play a couple of his tunes on the guitar (badly)

At some point I hope to fit in Jim Kilpatrick too, and I've got some spectacular ideas for that particular shoot. Jim's a drumming legend, and as a long time drummer myself, the minds eye is prodding my imagination towards some very cool shots.

Then at the end of the month I'm helping my mum out with a fundraising event for Clic Sargent Scotland, a charity that supports Children with Cancer and Leukemia, as well as their families. She's been organising a charity PA with Big Brother 11 winner Josie Gibson, and I'll be photographing her a few times over the weekend for the event website, as well as making up a pretty cool video too. 

At some point during the month I hope to fit in Chrissie too, who due to the adverse weather conditions has just spent three hours tonight at my house. Talking my ears off! We usually only end up seeing each other every six months or so, but it's always great catching up and she's fun to hang out with. I've got a couple of cool ideas for the shoot with Chrissie but I need to research a couple of bits first before I tell her. And if you're reading this Chrissie, you'll just have to wait lol

Anyway, lots happening in June. Expect lots of blog posts, lots of new images, and if I've got time I'm gonna squeeze in a wee portfolio shoot too - I've got an idea I've been itching to try for at least 18 months now!
