00:00:05.622 --> 00:00:09.415
Tell us a little bit about yourself and your photography.
2
00:00:09.415 --> 00:00:13.212
Cool. So I'm Kristina Kraskov, and I'm based in Melbourne.
3
00:00:13.212 --> 00:00:17.371
And I take photos all the time, everywhere I go,
4
00:00:17.371 --> 00:00:19.542
but I'm really particularly interested
5
00:00:19.542 --> 00:00:22.503
in unusual people and places,
6
00:00:22.503 --> 00:00:24.409
and I make documentaries as well.
7
00:00:24.409 --> 00:00:25.635
So it's the same kind of thing.
8
00:00:25.635 --> 00:00:27.365
I'm just always looking for stories,
9
00:00:27.365 --> 00:00:31.131
whether they play out in a seagull image or in a film.
10
00:00:31.131 --> 00:00:33.336
I'm really drawn dramatic,
11
00:00:33.336 --> 00:00:36.248
classical painting style lighting.
12
00:00:36.248 --> 00:00:37.756
If I can find that in everyday life,
13
00:00:37.756 --> 00:00:40.236
that really excites me as well.
14
00:00:40.236 --> 00:00:41.069
Cool.
15
00:00:41.069 --> 00:00:43.323
Are you a professional photographer,
16
00:00:43.323 --> 00:00:46.962
are you working as a professional documentary filmmaker
17
00:00:46.962 --> 00:00:49.095
at the moment or that's your...
18
00:00:49.095 --> 00:00:50.471
I've made a few documentary projects
19
00:00:50.471 --> 00:00:54.309
and have done a bit of photography work in the past.
20
00:00:54.309 --> 00:00:57.616
It's very competitive industry as you're aware of,
21
00:00:57.616 --> 00:00:58.449
but yeah,
22
00:00:58.449 --> 00:01:00.191
definitely, definitely what I'm working on
23
00:01:00.191 --> 00:01:01.398
most at the moment.
24
00:01:01.398 --> 00:01:04.672
And art studies, you've studied...
25
00:01:04.672 --> 00:01:06.637
Yeah, I studied film and photography
26
00:01:06.637 --> 00:01:08.715
and I did a master's in documentary
27
00:01:08.715 --> 00:01:11.846
that I finished a years or two as well.
28
00:01:11.846 --> 00:01:12.679
Awesome.
29
00:01:12.679 --> 00:01:15.353
So tell us a little bit about your finalist work
30
00:01:15.353 --> 00:01:18.910
in living memory, I'm just a suburban fashionista.
31
00:01:18.910 --> 00:01:19.794
Yeah.
32
00:01:19.794 --> 00:01:23.162
So a friend that I op shop with encouraged me
33
00:01:23.162 --> 00:01:26.148
to join a Facebook group where people post their fines
34
00:01:26.148 --> 00:01:29.250
and I went in and there was just this awesome older lady
35
00:01:29.250 --> 00:01:31.930
posing in these cool outfits in front of her garage
36
00:01:31.930 --> 00:01:33.008
with her dog.
37
00:01:33.008 --> 00:01:35.977
But she looked like a supermodel who was 60.
38
00:01:35.977 --> 00:01:38.004
And I thought this lady is amazing.
39
00:01:38.004 --> 00:01:39.070
And I just knew that
40
00:01:39.070 --> 00:01:41.471
I would end up working with her somehow.
41
00:01:41.471 --> 00:01:44.986
And I actually wanted to make a little TikTok documentary.
42
00:01:44.986 --> 00:01:47.061
So that's why I reached out to her.
43
00:01:47.061 --> 00:01:50.843
And she was really cool. And (indistinct) was just amazing.
44
00:01:50.843 --> 00:01:53.298
Like it was better than I could have imagined.
45
00:01:53.298 --> 00:01:54.734
And I had my camera and I thought,
46
00:01:54.734 --> 00:01:56.697
I'm going to take a portrait of you
47
00:01:56.697 --> 00:01:59.157
because I just have this feeling that I have to do this.
48
00:01:59.157 --> 00:02:01.577
And she had these beautiful highlight windows
49
00:02:01.577 --> 00:02:03.707
and the light coming in was just magnificent.
50
00:02:03.707 --> 00:02:05.653
So that's how it started.
51
00:02:05.653 --> 00:02:08.981
And yeah, I was just looking through,
52
00:02:08.981 --> 00:02:13.048
and this particular moment struck me the most.
53
00:02:13.048 --> 00:02:14.868
She doesn't stop talking, Michelle,
54
00:02:14.868 --> 00:02:16.476
she's such a cool character,
55
00:02:16.476 --> 00:02:20.485
but all of the photos had her mouth open.
56
00:02:20.485 --> 00:02:25.485
So one moment of peace and quiet and like almost reflection
57
00:02:25.735 --> 00:02:28.869
and an innocence of just actually letting us see
58
00:02:28.869 --> 00:02:30.860
into her world.
59
00:02:30.860 --> 00:02:32.953
She has quite the social media following,
60
00:02:32.953 --> 00:02:36.215
and lots of people as think she has a giant wardrobe
61
00:02:36.215 --> 00:02:37.619
and her house is so clean,
62
00:02:37.619 --> 00:02:39.803
and she really liked my photo
63
00:02:39.803 --> 00:02:41.739
because it showed what it was really like
64
00:02:41.739 --> 00:02:44.233
and she wanted people to see that side of her, yeah.
65
00:02:44.233 --> 00:02:45.338
Yeah. That's awesome.
66
00:02:45.338 --> 00:02:48.428
And you won the Art Handlers Award this year.
67
00:02:48.428 --> 00:02:50.261
I think I felt cool.
68
00:02:51.750 --> 00:02:53.706
And what did you think of the video?
69
00:02:53.706 --> 00:02:56.254
I thought that was kind of cool as you're documentary maker,
70
00:02:56.254 --> 00:02:57.518
but you know, we do it every year,
71
00:02:57.518 --> 00:03:02.279
that we make a little video, but it was pretty cute.
72
00:03:02.279 --> 00:03:04.575
I really love the video they did.
73
00:03:04.575 --> 00:03:07.842
I've always been attracted to collections and clutter,
74
00:03:07.842 --> 00:03:10.298
and my parents growing up were always telling me
75
00:03:10.298 --> 00:03:11.131
all about that.
76
00:03:11.131 --> 00:03:13.642
So it was just such a eclectic moment to be recognised
77
00:03:13.642 --> 00:03:16.916
in this huge way for being attracted to clutter,
78
00:03:16.916 --> 00:03:18.617
and then the video reflected that,
79
00:03:18.617 --> 00:03:20.260
I just thought that was awesome.
80
00:03:20.260 --> 00:03:21.778
And what did your subject, Michelle,
81
00:03:21.778 --> 00:03:24.218
think about being being selected
82
00:03:24.218 --> 00:03:26.988
and being hung on a gallery wall or is it...
83
00:03:26.988 --> 00:03:31.681
She always says, I'm not telling people to vote for it
84
00:03:31.681 --> 00:03:33.539
or see it because I'm in it,
85
00:03:33.539 --> 00:03:36.870
but it's because it's a good photo.
86
00:03:36.870 --> 00:03:40.586
She always likes just think that she's not a big deal
87
00:03:40.586 --> 00:03:43.058
and she's no one significant and it's my work,
88
00:03:43.058 --> 00:03:44.656
but I have to keep reminding her
89
00:03:44.656 --> 00:03:47.308
that she is important to a lot of people.
90
00:03:47.308 --> 00:03:50.300
And it's I think our perfect teamwork
91
00:03:50.300 --> 00:03:53.094
that makes the work so special.
92
00:03:53.094 --> 00:03:54.706
And what I liked with your work,
93
00:03:54.706 --> 00:03:58.373
you went quite small and intimate and simple
94
00:03:59.399 --> 00:04:00.751
with your framing as well.
95
00:04:00.751 --> 00:04:03.280
So it is like a little window into a world
96
00:04:03.280 --> 00:04:05.064
when you go up and see it in the gallery,
97
00:04:05.064 --> 00:04:09.967
it sort of invites you to go closer and peer into it.
98
00:04:09.967 --> 00:04:12.534
Yeah. That was a very deliberate decision.
99
00:04:12.534 --> 00:04:16.887
I love huge prints, but it's such a detailed image.
100
00:04:16.887 --> 00:04:19.681
There's so much going on. She's almost lost in it.
101
00:04:19.681 --> 00:04:22.737
So I wanted people to take the time to actually see
102
00:04:22.737 --> 00:04:25.338
what was in the frame and yeah,
103
00:04:25.338 --> 00:04:27.535
getting close, go into her world.
104
00:04:27.535 --> 00:04:29.369
And she's tiny as well.
105
00:04:29.369 --> 00:04:30.786
She's so small.
106
00:04:33.151 --> 00:04:35.713
So what do you think being selected in the prize,
107
00:04:35.713 --> 00:04:38.134
sort of will remain for you as a photographer?
108
00:04:38.134 --> 00:04:40.201
I guess personally, what does that mean?
109
00:04:40.201 --> 00:04:43.083
And also professionally, what do you hope it brings?
110
00:04:43.083 --> 00:04:44.205
Yeah, well personally,
111
00:04:44.205 --> 00:04:47.866
it's a really tricky competitive industry,
112
00:04:47.866 --> 00:04:49.609
particularly with filmmaking as well.
113
00:04:49.609 --> 00:04:52.095
I chose two really hard things to do,
114
00:04:52.095 --> 00:04:53.925
and just getting so many rejections
115
00:04:53.925 --> 00:04:55.475
can really wear you down.
116
00:04:55.475 --> 00:04:58.179
I was lucky enough to visit the portrait gallery
117
00:04:58.179 --> 00:04:59.489
back in January this year.
118
00:04:59.489 --> 00:05:02.117
I wanted to, before I entered the gallery
119
00:05:02.117 --> 00:05:05.977
to check out the quality of work and I was so impressed.
120
00:05:05.977 --> 00:05:06.810
And I thought,
121
00:05:06.810 --> 00:05:09.244
Oh man, I probably not going to get into this.
122
00:05:09.244 --> 00:05:10.922
And I nearly didn't enter my portrait.
123
00:05:10.922 --> 00:05:12.615
But then I did.
124
00:05:12.615 --> 00:05:15.457
The deadline was extended and just getting in was a huge...
125
00:05:15.457 --> 00:05:17.473
it felt like a huge achievement
126
00:05:17.473 --> 00:05:19.568
because it is such a beautiful gallery.
127
00:05:19.568 --> 00:05:21.738
Professionally, I think,
128
00:05:21.738 --> 00:05:24.650
documentary, portraiture, filmmaking,
129
00:05:24.650 --> 00:05:26.765
they really do go hand in hand.
130
00:05:26.765 --> 00:05:29.836
So I hope it can help take my work to the next level,
131
00:05:29.836 --> 00:05:33.361
get a bit more recognition, more projects off the ground.
132
00:05:33.361 --> 00:05:36.664
You know, they're best in story-telling, aren't they?
133
00:05:36.664 --> 00:05:37.587
And what was on..
134
00:05:37.587 --> 00:05:42.185
was it Australian love stories when you were here,
135
00:05:42.185 --> 00:05:44.178
the glowing hearts with the...
136
00:05:44.178 --> 00:05:47.221
It was the one before the music...
137
00:05:47.221 --> 00:05:48.275
I forgot what it was called.
138
00:05:48.275 --> 00:05:49.249
Pop rock.
139
00:05:49.249 --> 00:05:50.497
Yes. That was great.
140
00:05:50.497 --> 00:05:51.747
So you got it
141
00:05:52.657 --> 00:05:57.285
Sweaty pop rock exhibition. It was pretty amazing.
142
00:05:57.285 --> 00:06:00.637
So how has lock downs and changes in the world
143
00:06:00.637 --> 00:06:02.343
affected your practise
144
00:06:02.343 --> 00:06:05.955
in the way you approach photography and filmmaking?
145
00:06:05.955 --> 00:06:08.529
Well, so I went to see Michelle
146
00:06:08.529 --> 00:06:10.864
and take this between lockdowns.
147
00:06:10.864 --> 00:06:15.864
But lots of people fake, edit her into magazine covers
148
00:06:15.968 --> 00:06:19.283
and she just really has that aesthetic about her.
149
00:06:19.283 --> 00:06:21.946
And I wanted to do a more editorial style shoot.
150
00:06:21.946 --> 00:06:23.507
I wanted to bring lights
151
00:06:23.507 --> 00:06:26.914
and really spend a whole day shooting with her.
152
00:06:26.914 --> 00:06:28.280
And we just weren't able to,
153
00:06:28.280 --> 00:06:30.579
and that was the image that I was going to submit.
154
00:06:30.579 --> 00:06:33.593
So in a way, it forced me to look back
155
00:06:33.593 --> 00:06:38.343
and just accept this messy work in a way for what it was.
156
00:06:39.224 --> 00:06:41.653
And you know, that it is a really strong image.
157
00:06:41.653 --> 00:06:43.591
It's definitely been hard,
158
00:06:43.591 --> 00:06:46.421
but it's great to just notice this simple things.
159
00:06:46.421 --> 00:06:48.411
So I just make myself take my camera
160
00:06:48.411 --> 00:06:50.992
when I go for walks with my dog,
161
00:06:50.992 --> 00:06:54.103
always in the afternoon, of course, golden hour.
162
00:06:54.103 --> 00:06:56.686
And just keep noticing and keep looking
163
00:06:56.686 --> 00:07:00.138
and keep training your eye to see beauty,
164
00:07:00.138 --> 00:07:01.998
even if it's a bit sad.
165
00:07:01.998 --> 00:07:03.715
Yeah. Awesome.
166
00:07:03.715 --> 00:07:06.298
What's your selected equipment?
167
00:07:07.553 --> 00:07:09.971
What photographic equipment do you prefer?
168
00:07:09.971 --> 00:07:12.651
A news cameras and all of that sort of stuff.
169
00:07:12.651 --> 00:07:16.356
I tend to go as minimally as I can
170
00:07:16.356 --> 00:07:19.799
because I don't really want people to notice me too much
171
00:07:19.799 --> 00:07:22.763
or make a big deal out of me shooting.
172
00:07:22.763 --> 00:07:27.263
So I tend to always be pushing ISO more than I'd like,
173
00:07:28.169 --> 00:07:30.591
but yeah, I tend to just go minimally.
174
00:07:30.591 --> 00:07:34.373
I've got my Canon 5D, which is so beaten up.
175
00:07:34.373 --> 00:07:37.375
It's been all around the world and fallen off motorbikes
176
00:07:37.375 --> 00:07:38.599
and it's still going strong.
177
00:07:38.599 --> 00:07:39.432
So, yeah.
178
00:07:40.419 --> 00:07:42.619
And I tend to just go with a zoom lens
179
00:07:42.619 --> 00:07:44.841
so I can be ready for anything,
180
00:07:44.841 --> 00:07:47.341
but always fighting the light.
181
00:07:49.480 --> 00:07:50.783
Thank you flower.
182
00:07:50.783 --> 00:07:54.825
So any tips for aspiring photographers out there.
183
00:07:54.825 --> 00:07:57.956
I wish that they started entering things much earlier.
184
00:07:57.956 --> 00:07:59.675
I've always been taking photos,
185
00:07:59.675 --> 00:08:02.005
but I've only started entering things really this year
186
00:08:02.005 --> 00:08:04.569
and I've done surprisingly well.
187
00:08:04.569 --> 00:08:08.623
So I would say, just keep looking, keep taking photos,
188
00:08:08.623 --> 00:08:11.277
and keep trying to enter things if you can.
189
00:08:11.277 --> 00:08:14.373
And what about artists or photographers,
190
00:08:14.373 --> 00:08:17.444
any type of artists really that you look up to
191
00:08:17.444 --> 00:08:20.276
or that inspire you in your work?
192
00:08:20.276 --> 00:08:21.472
Oh, good question.
193
00:08:21.472 --> 00:08:23.646
I really love Errol Morris.
194
00:08:23.646 --> 00:08:28.574
He's a documentary maker and everything is just beautiful.
195
00:08:28.574 --> 00:08:30.714
You know, a simple interview shot,
196
00:08:30.714 --> 00:08:32.878
all the colour palette is considered
197
00:08:32.878 --> 00:08:36.116
in a way that's relevant to the storytelling.
198
00:08:36.116 --> 00:08:37.782
So I'm a really big fan of that.
199
00:08:37.782 --> 00:08:42.053
Unfortunately, I don't get the budgets for this content,
200
00:08:42.053 --> 00:08:46.329
but that's the dream, just to have beautiful---
201
00:08:46.329 --> 00:08:48.345
People kind of have this idea
202
00:08:48.345 --> 00:08:51.597
that documentaries are just educational,
203
00:08:51.597 --> 00:08:53.677
so they should be cheaper,
204
00:08:53.677 --> 00:08:55.568
and they don't need to be so beautiful.
205
00:08:55.568 --> 00:08:58.595
But in documentary portraiture and filmmaking,
206
00:08:58.595 --> 00:09:00.363
I think there's a lot you can do to push that.
207
00:09:00.363 --> 00:09:03.549
So artists that do that, that really push,
208
00:09:03.549 --> 00:09:06.229
and just unusual people---
209
00:09:06.229 --> 00:09:11.087
So anything about an interesting quirky character
210
00:09:11.087 --> 00:09:13.844
immediately gets my attention, yeah.
211
00:09:13.844 --> 00:09:14.677
Cool.
212
00:09:14.677 --> 00:09:17.403
And can you remember the first photograph you ever took,
213
00:09:17.403 --> 00:09:19.924
a conscious memory of taking a photograph
214
00:09:19.924 --> 00:09:23.507
and that connection of taking a photograph?
215
00:09:25.818 --> 00:09:29.150
I was in primary school and my friend kind of flip phone
216
00:09:29.150 --> 00:09:31.957
with a three megapixel phone camera.
217
00:09:31.957 --> 00:09:35.909
And I was just on it all night in, you know,
218
00:09:35.909 --> 00:09:37.859
really love those photos of stuff.
219
00:09:37.859 --> 00:09:40.208
And that made me actually---
220
00:09:40.208 --> 00:09:42.649
I got a money box and I saved up all my gold coins
221
00:09:42.649 --> 00:09:47.649
to buy a $250 (indistinct) point and shoot.
222
00:09:48.015 --> 00:09:50.752
My mom takes me to the good guys when I'm like 10,
223
00:09:50.752 --> 00:09:54.249
and I'm laying out all my bags of those coins.
224
00:09:54.249 --> 00:09:56.371
And I just took it everywhere.
225
00:09:56.371 --> 00:09:59.439
And yeah, my family was super annoyed at me
226
00:09:59.439 --> 00:10:03.725
'cause I would just always have it and I'd spun it around
227
00:10:03.725 --> 00:10:05.892
and attached it to things.
228
00:10:07.465 --> 00:10:08.629
That's so awesome.
229
00:10:08.629 --> 00:10:11.259
It's been a long time and I was kind of surprised
230
00:10:11.259 --> 00:10:14.343
that (indistinct) time I thought
231
00:10:14.343 --> 00:10:15.691
that I should do anything else
232
00:10:15.691 --> 00:10:17.785
when it was really always present.
233
00:10:17.785 --> 00:10:18.927
Yeah.
234
00:10:18.927 --> 00:10:19.771
That's interesting.
235
00:10:19.771 --> 00:10:21.581
A lot of people with their first photograph
236
00:10:21.581 --> 00:10:26.299
and then it just leads on to more, like it's meant to be.
237
00:10:26.299 --> 00:10:28.193
Do you remember what you were taking photos of
238
00:10:28.193 --> 00:10:29.533
on the flip plane?
239
00:10:29.533 --> 00:10:31.616
Was it just your friends?
240
00:10:32.677 --> 00:10:35.156
This is a really weird memory.
241
00:10:35.156 --> 00:10:37.236
But there was like this orange lamp light
242
00:10:37.236 --> 00:10:39.875
on this clown print of bedsheets.
243
00:10:39.875 --> 00:10:42.759
I was trying to take a photo of the light on the clown.
244
00:10:42.759 --> 00:10:44.073
I don't know why.
245
00:10:44.073 --> 00:10:46.090
Well, I say it's still there that light
246
00:10:46.090 --> 00:10:49.287
and that connection to light and photographers eyes.
247
00:10:49.287 --> 00:10:52.287
So yeah, what about a dream subject?
248
00:10:53.736 --> 00:10:55.499
If there was anyone you could get
249
00:10:55.499 --> 00:10:59.347
to make a documentary about or photograph, their portrait,
250
00:10:59.347 --> 00:11:00.439
who would they be?
251
00:11:00.439 --> 00:11:01.529
What would their story be?
252
00:11:01.529 --> 00:11:02.923
Who would it be?
253
00:11:02.923 --> 00:11:05.681
That is such a good question.
254
00:11:05.681 --> 00:11:07.269
And I think about this all the time,
255
00:11:07.269 --> 00:11:11.302
but of course, now that you've asked me,
256
00:11:11.302 --> 00:11:13.472
let me just think about that for a second.
257
00:11:13.472 --> 00:11:16.663
Yeah, think away, take your time.
258
00:11:16.663 --> 00:11:20.413
I always felt really sorry for Julia Gilad.
259
00:11:21.343 --> 00:11:25.071
And I really liked those photos that came out
260
00:11:25.071 --> 00:11:27.744
when she was in cabinet,
261
00:11:27.744 --> 00:11:30.661
but I just thought a portrait of her
262
00:11:30.661 --> 00:11:33.871
just being a person relaxing at home,
263
00:11:33.871 --> 00:11:35.171
could be really interesting.
264
00:11:35.171 --> 00:11:37.196
There's a documentary that's coming out recently
265
00:11:37.196 --> 00:11:39.199
about all of her time, which is awesome.
266
00:11:39.199 --> 00:11:40.915
I'm glad that we're talking about that.
267
00:11:40.915 --> 00:11:43.368
But I tend to go for more unusual people.
268
00:11:43.368 --> 00:11:46.942
So I'd actually made a documentary
269
00:11:46.942 --> 00:11:50.918
about a local celebrity here in Frankston.
270
00:11:50.918 --> 00:11:53.658
Every town has their weird, unusual local person,
271
00:11:53.658 --> 00:11:58.246
at the back person dressed as a dolphin or whatever.
272
00:11:58.246 --> 00:12:00.583
So yeah, in terms of celebrities,
273
00:12:00.583 --> 00:12:02.873
I'm interested in the really, really
274
00:12:02.873 --> 00:12:04.347
minuscule micro celebrities,
275
00:12:04.347 --> 00:12:06.492
but those kinds of things, for sure.
276
00:12:06.492 --> 00:12:08.401
I'm gonna keep thinking of that
277
00:12:08.401 --> 00:12:10.431
'cause there's someone I was thinking about recently.
278
00:12:10.431 --> 00:12:13.631
I just can't remember who they are that I thought,
279
00:12:13.631 --> 00:12:17.397
Oh, it'd be so good to do a photo of them.
280
00:12:17.397 --> 00:12:18.257
It's gone. Sorry.
281
00:12:18.257 --> 00:12:20.099
Cool, that's all right, I can't come back.
282
00:12:20.099 --> 00:12:23.081
So what about any shout outs or thank yous to anyone.
283
00:12:23.081 --> 00:12:24.498
Have you got any?
284
00:12:25.545 --> 00:12:28.295
I've got a friend, Katie Bunac,
285
00:12:30.503 --> 00:12:32.373
who's on Instagram as well.
286
00:12:32.373 --> 00:12:35.141
And she's just my co-conspirator,
287
00:12:35.141 --> 00:12:40.141
she's a painter and she's an amazing portrait oil painter.
288
00:12:40.599 --> 00:12:42.536
And she's just the person
289
00:12:42.536 --> 00:12:45.760
who I send my rejections and my acceptances to,
290
00:12:45.760 --> 00:12:48.440
and we consult each other on a lot of that work.
291
00:12:48.440 --> 00:12:49.726
So she's my main one.
292
00:12:49.726 --> 00:12:52.340
And then just my family and friends as well
293
00:12:52.340 --> 00:12:53.872
for supporting me.
294
00:12:53.872 --> 00:12:54.922
Well, you have to get her
295
00:12:54.922 --> 00:12:57.152
to enter the Darling Portrait Prize.
296
00:12:57.152 --> 00:12:58.320
I've already emailed her.
297
00:12:58.320 --> 00:13:01.099
It'll be cool if you guys you're in next year...
298
00:13:01.099 --> 00:13:02.882
it's like a little joint showing.
299
00:13:02.882 --> 00:13:03.896
Yeah.
300
00:13:03.896 --> 00:13:06.886
We often enter similar things and having been in together,
301
00:13:06.886 --> 00:13:08.469
but...
302
00:13:08.469 --> 00:13:10.179
I might all align.
303
00:13:10.179 --> 00:13:11.790
Hopefully.
304
00:13:11.790 --> 00:13:13.403
Well, it's nearly the end anyway,
305
00:13:13.403 --> 00:13:16.173
but I was wondering if you had any parting words of wisdom,
306
00:13:16.173 --> 00:13:20.340
can be like life or art or anything you wanted to.
307
00:13:23.846 --> 00:13:27.243
I suppose in the subjects I've always been interested,
308
00:13:27.243 --> 00:13:30.160
they've never really been, I guess,
309
00:13:32.266 --> 00:13:36.478
the most on trend topic of the time ever.
310
00:13:36.478 --> 00:13:39.699
But that doesn't mean that they're not relevant.
311
00:13:39.699 --> 00:13:43.972
So I would guess just really consider your ideas
312
00:13:43.972 --> 00:13:45.153
and how much they mean to you.
313
00:13:45.153 --> 00:13:48.287
But if it's ideas that are always staying with you
314
00:13:48.287 --> 00:13:50.599
definitely still pursue them.
315
00:13:50.599 --> 00:13:54.516
Taking photos of weird people and their things,
316
00:13:55.655 --> 00:13:57.011
it's not always going to work,
317
00:13:57.011 --> 00:13:59.052
but this has really worked out for me.
318
00:13:59.052 --> 00:14:01.941
And it just fits in with everything I've been doing so far.
319
00:14:01.941 --> 00:14:06.941
So I'm really glad that I actually did take the opportunity.
