Calendar Idea
as at 26th April.....
The idea of putting together a calendar is gathering pace - or maybe even a series of calendars (covering geographical cluster for example).
Made up with photos that models themselves want to put forward for inclusion. No pressure whatsoever to enrol in this initiative. My recommendation is that we stick with whatever range of photos you wanted to do, and only after the shoot and with edited photos do you see whether you would want any of them to be submitted.
Sold for charity, proceeds supporting the vaccine injured in some form or another (direct support, funding legal cases for compensation, promoting injured awareness).
Any thoughts / contacts gratefully received.

Journalist Involvement
as at 26th April.....
Depending on whether we can find an awake journalist up for the challenge, I am looking into getting additional publicity. This may be a journalist to write up the story to which some photos will be added. Might even consider getting the footage of some bits to make a documentary as a medium with which we can spread awareness. Given the already intimate nature of the project, I don't want to put any pressure on models to be involved unless they really want to (for example, interviews pre- and post-photoshoots, allowing them to express why it is they are participating etc could be very powerful indeed, especially given the stories and views many of you are expressing).
But I don't want such an initiative to get in the way of what we are trying to achieve with the photography.
I have some feelers out - if you know a journal who would be perfect, do let me know.
Also useful to have some feedback from you as to whether you think it a good idea, whether you would want to be featured / tell your story etc.
