    I'm not in a marching band or re-enacting anything of the sort. Those people are in the light for entertainment. I am not. I'm simply wearing a garment I enjoy. I actually enjoy the flattery of photographs. But, I'd appreciate the courtesy of asking and letting me get myself situated.
    That's really my feelings. Heck, I like getting my picture taken, especially if an attractive lady wants to pose with me.

    But I really would like the courtesy of being asked first.

    Pipers are used to it.

    I guess I am used to the photos. I am a very large person. 280lbs 6 foot 4 inches. White hair, full beard. A piper I wear a very nice kilt and attire. I am offten asked for a "photo-op" and often with very attractive young women and often in very attractive summer wear. My wife, however, isn't so impressed.

    At one Highland Games in Kincardine, Ontario...I was watching a friend play her piobreachid (it's spelled wrong but pronouced Pea brock) which is the classical piping music. At any rate, at the end I began to turn away and started to walk, when an elderly gentleman came up to me and said, "AH Hope ya dina mind" I asked "Mind what?" "I videotaped you...I always have to find a real scot and get him on video at each highland gathering I attend." I thought for a moment (hmmm... last name = Krueger, grandparents Krupp) finally I said, "Well, I guess I am most real scot right here at this moment."
