This could not have popped into my feed at a better moment. I just finished going through the 3,000 photos I took in Iowa and I was so disappointed in way too many of them. I am so aware of how little I know - how much I have to learn. I'm so frustrated that I wasn't more skilled and wasn't able to capture the things I wanted to capture. I am having a "I'm a fraud" moment. LOL. But glad to read this and remember that so many people feel this way, too.
And also: I don't want to be the kind of photographer that people think of as the best. I don't want those overly edited shots that were made for Instagram. Ick. I'd rather be imperfect.
