Iron Photographer 213:

Required Elements:
1 - Something between my feet
2 - Standing on something elevated
3 - Square format

When I started planning photos for IP213 I realized most of my early ideas were all top-down POV photos. It bugged me. The whole idea of Iron Photographer is to stick a rock in our ruts, bump us up onto fresh turf, and say, "No! No rut for you!" So after the crab photo I scrapped those ideas and started over.

I like bare feet, especially if they're doing stuff they're not supposed to be doing. I don't think I hit that in this one since I like climbing trees barefoot. But I couldn't figure out how to fly a kite with my toes for IP213. Hey, there's always another Iron Photographer to do that with!

I've been meaning to write a review of the bag I lugged up in the tree with me. Maybe this is a good one to lead off that article with. In any case this is NOT the bag I'd advise if you do a lot of tree climbing.
