Probably the best "advice" I have ever received came from listening to art historians talk about art. As a result of my career as an academic, and my wife's career as educator in a major museum, I had many opportunities to listen to these folks, and many opportunities to study a wide range of art objects, including photographs. So those questions of what people do, why they do it, and what they were trying to achieve were always part of the discussion. I also know professional "art" photographers and have bought some of their work. All this listening, viewing, and occasional buying, seems to make me comfortable with the idea that people capture images because they simply want to, and whatever technology they use, from a pencil to a high-end DSLR, is whatever they have become familiar with, confident that the technology gives them whatever they are searching for when they decide to capture an image. So the main question I ask is not whether my photographs are "good" (although I can sure as hell tell when they are not in focus!), but whether I am personally satisfied with the result.
