For the Utata Iron Photographer 30 challenge: Elements for Iron Photographer 30 include:
1 - A tool (my lighter)
2 - Something rolled up (shirt sleeves and jean cuffs, not to mention the cigar)
3 - Cinematic aspect ratio (16:9, I think).
I guess anything with cinema appeals to me....When I saw the elements, I immediately thought of James Dean in "Rebel Without A Cause" or Paul Newman in "Cool Hand Luke." Two great American movies.

Here are the elements for Iron Photographer 30:
1 - a tool
2 - something rolled up
3 - cinematic aspect ratio
The first element, a tool, ought to be self-explanatory...but almost certainly isn't. Generally, a tool is a hand-held or hand-utilized implement used to improve performance of a manual task. We're always willing to consider other definitions.
The second element is something rolled up. You may be asking yourself "What the hell does that mean?" Well, you get to figure that out your ownself.
The final element is a cinematic aspect ratio. This is moderately technical. Aspect ratio is the term used to describe the relationship between the height and width of an image. It's usually expressed as "X:Y" or "XxY." For example, the traditional 35mm aspect ratio is 4:3...four by three. That's also the aspect ratio for traditional televisions. Widescreen televisions and movies use an aspect ratio that's wider, such as 16:9. We want your photograph to be cropped to a cinematic aspect ratio. We don't care if it's exact...just get it close.
