Clifford's Compass

Greg Mano


This is my grandfather's compass. He did many things in his life and one of them was to be one of the primary surveyors of the Great Lakes in the 1930s. He used this compass as part of that work. He died of lung cancer when I was very young and my memories of him are fleeting at best. It feels good to hold it.

The elements for Iron Photographer 17:

1 - an article of clothing
2 - something metal
3 - shot from a high angle

The first element, an article of clothing is just that. Something you'd wear on your body. We don't want it ON your body; we just want the article of clothing. It must be recognizable as an article of clothing.

The second element, something metal, is also pretty self-explanatory. It doesn't have to be entirely metal, but it should be primarily metal. The metal thing should NOT be the article of clothing (for those of you who were planning to take photos of your suit of armor).

Finally, the photograph should be shot from a high angle. We're not going to elaborate on that too much; basically we want you to take the photograph looking down on the subject. You decide on the actual angle.
