In this episode Jack and John discuss several topics, including the rise in AI generated images in photography.  Plus, we discuss the importance of developing a circle of trusted people to provide constructive feedback about your images in order to grow you artistic vision and skills.  Of course, you yourself need to be the strongest critic and need to develop the skills to do this in an un-emotional way, shedding the baggage and emotional attachment you may feel to an image, at least during the critical evaluation stages.
