Okay.

So, uh, I was shooting for, uh, a magazine called Car Design News, and they were great, and they had sent me to Mitsubishi, uh, the design headquarters, uh, near Nagoya to photograph their design chief at the time, their head of design, um, who was Kuni- Kunimoto.
36:57
Uh, let me just really quickly look it up.
36:59
Um, but their design chief at the time, and it was one of those, uh, Tsunehiro Kunimoto-San, uh, and I was just to take a p- a portrait, portrait editorial, style portrait of him in the, uh, design headquarters there.

15:05
Yeah.
15:06
Good.

I would say, and this is an answer that has changed since I started out as a photographer, I think technical execution comes into the bottom for me.
15:17
I don't think that is as important as it used to be, just because it is so much easier these days to make a photo.
15:31
So that comes in at the bottom.
