…preferably in the act of playing the uilleanns. This is for an educational brochure I’m doing on Irish trad instruments.
I looked through some of the “pictures” thread (Holy smoke, these things are beautiful!), but a picture of pipes alone wouldn’t make much sense to a non-musician without the context of the player.
So, anybody have a good picture of themselves that you’d give me permission to use?
Thanks!

There are pictures of pipers at NPU (real pipers 
). There are pictures of Seamus Ennis and Willie Clancy on various web sites. There are occassional images on eBay. Pat D’Arcy’s Uilleann](http://www.uilleannobsession.com/index.html#news%22%3EUilleann) Obsession web site has scads of images of pipes and pipers, old and new. You could spend hours there.

You could spend hours there.
Which isn’t the same as using for a brochure is it?
Yep, thanks djm, but Peter’s right–I have to have permission from the photographer.

Do you want a modern picture?
I know that all photographs taken before 1923 are public domain in the US.
Even if a photograph is public domain, somebody has taken the time to find it and digitize it.
Why not write to NPU and ask if they have any photos?
They must have some promotional materials in a press pack that you could use for non-profit works.

You can use my pic (which is in the Pics of your pipes thread) if you want someone looking miserable
Thanks, Steve. Can’t get it to come up; tried copying and pasting and got a 404 error.
The good news is that you don’t look miserable. Just invisible.

LOL…its probably for the best
How about this one?
Well, there’s always:
Eskin, I am going to use that one. See if the prof is paying attention. hee hee hee

PJ, well done!
What do you mean? He really looks like that. Especially after a Hefeweizen or two.
He’d fit right in around here.

(we need a Billybob emoticon)
that pic also serves to lay to rest this side vs. top neck tube question.
[overheard at pretty much every gig involving uilleann, shuttle, or other non-highland pipes]
“I like the kind with those little things that stick up above your shoulder.”
awesome…
Just a nit I’ve picked before: the instrument is called the ‘uilleann pipes’, and not ‘the uilleanns’. One who plays them is an ‘uilleann piper’; the act of playing them is called ‘playing the uilleann pipes’.
Kieran O’Hare
Right. No one says “uilliannist” or “uillianning”. I think.
…and thus do I show myself to be an alien in the uilleann world.
