Truck gets her moment of fame.

My baby got booked to appear in a photo shoot for the cover of a crime writers new novel here in the UK, his name is Simon Kernick (you can Google him) and the idea was that they would echo an image already seen in movies where a siloetted figure would be burying something at night lit only by the headlights of his car. The first few pics are ones that I took while they set up the equipment and the final three are of course the photographers...these were the short listed one's for the book, interesting thing is that the profesional pics look like they were taken at night, but in fact my pics show how light it actually was...they used special filters and flash to acheive this.
Hope ya like em.

Thanks mate, this is one of the perks of owning a classic vehicle over here especially American is that you can register it with any number of Photographic or Film agentcies and you may get booked for some of this kinda work.

That's so cool - and of course, you have a beautiful truck - those pictures are really neat. Was it raining or was that a special effect?

Well Mate, at least they took the better looking of the two, LOL. Seriously though. That's awesome. When the book is released, can I send it to you and have you sign it? After all, you are "The Owner Of The Famous Black Truck On The Cover Of The Book". Again, Congrats.
