How are you supposed to answer that? What does “good” even mean? Is it the same for everyone?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat if you were equipped to ask better, more constructive questions of your work so that you could think more intentionally and creatively, and in doing so, bring more specific action and vision to the act of creating photographs?
