Submitter's name:	Jay Maynard
Title:	The geek's sanctum
Gear used:	OM-2, 21/3.5 Zuiko, cheap Slik tripod
Diaphragm:	f/3.5
Shutter speed:	1/15
Film used:	Konica VX 400
Technical information:	I shot this at night, using only the light from the overhead fixture. The slow shutter speed ensured getting the images on the computer screens, which I particularly wanted. The 21mm lens got the entire room from one corner of the doorway. Contrast and color balance were adjusted in Photoshop after scanning.
Subject information:	Me, in the room I spend the majority of my waking hours in at home. There are 9 computers in the picture, as well as a couple of production cels from the Animaniacs cartoon series, a 5-foot-tall Dot Warner plushie, and one computer geek. The T-shirt says "If we promise to miss you, will you go away?"...one of my favorites.

must get hot in there w/ all those PCs...

There are 5 Intel PCs, an Alpha, an SGI Indigo 2, a DECstation, and an AS/400 in there...and, most of the time, all but one PC and the AS/400 are running. Yes, there's a noticeable temperature gradient across the doorway, but the ceiling fan makes it pretty comfortable.
