Well, the list of people involved in the project is going upwards and that makes me a happy person!
Yesterday I heard back from Jim Kilpatrick, and he confirmed he's happy to be involved in the project. Jim is a legend in the Pipe Band community, not just here in Scotland but all over the world. He's won the World Solo Drumming Championships a record 16 times, he's the Drum Major of House of Edgar Shotts & Dykehead Pipe Band, one of the top bands in Scotland that has won the World Championships 15 times, and he's been at the helm since 1987.
He teaches internationally, he is heavily involved in the development of pipe band drumming technology, and he also has an MBE. Jim is a classic example of the type of person I'd like to be involved in this project.

Jamie from REVEAL Scotland has been on the phone with me too and has asked me to photograph each of the profiled artists on their website. I'd discussed with Jamie before about including them in my project, so it looks like we'll get to kill two birds with one stone. Jamie is looking to use the photographs for a magazine coming out later in the summer, and it's always a wee bonus for me seeing my work in print.
I also spoke to a friend of mine a few days ago, Chrissie Red, who you may have seen shots of on my blog or website. Chrissie has suffered from anxiety at a debilitating level and has managed to become Scotlands top art-nude model, sought after across the whole of the UK, and a pretty nifty photographer too. In the modelling word of hyper-criticality, (if that's even a word) it must have taken a great deal of courage and perseverance as well as talent to get to where she is today. When I asked her about her involvement she said, "If it helps one person out there with their anxiety, then I'm in."
More people like the ones above please!
