Submitter's name:	Daryl Hurley
Title:	Me and My SUV
Gear used:	OM2n + 50/3.5 w/hood + T-20 + Bogen tripod w/medium ball head, using selftimer.
Diaphragm:	f11
Shutter speed:	1/30
Film used:	Gold 100 ASA.
Technical information:	The T20 was used for fill flash. Probably not necessary, but it was such a "white sky" I just felt better with a little direct lighting.
Subject information:	I figured the only way to make me look good would be to make sure something uglier was in the photo. The dog refused, so this is what was left. Besides, I just had to show off my SUV. With that 8'x14' bed and 23,600 lb GVW it'll haul a lot of Zuikos!

S.U.V. = Sports Utility Vehicle? What's the "Sports" part? The Zuiko 350mm/F2.8 that's hidden inside? ;)

Somebody had to do it - Nice truck - what is that, about a 68?

Nice truck; if you ever have to repaint it, go fire-engine red! The bed is a good spot to set up tripod and shoot, over the crowds with a clear view.

We'd like to judge for ourselves Daryl! Bring the dog on! :-O

Daryl, you ought to retitle this "Have Zuiks, Will Travel." Good informal composition: relaxed pose which includes a piece of your life that defines part of what you are; tells a story. The relaxed pose is something I've never been able to do in a more traditional self-portrait.

I'm surprised that Tom Scales hasn't comandeered your truck to haul his Zuikos.
