Just to add to what you were saying about the importance of getting feedback on your portfolio... Most photographers are too close to their photographs to judge them objectively. (The experience of making a photograph distorts the way photographers see the final product.) So it's good to get an independent point of view (from someone you respect) once in a while, to help you judge what's working and what isn't. When you show your book to an art buyer, they're generally not going to, and it's not really their job to - critique it. It's either going to fit their needs or it won't. Sometimes an art buyer will offer up suggestions (especially if you ask) about how to make your portfolio better. That can certainly be valuable advice, but keep in mind it's only one person's point of view. Excellent post.
