I'm an imposter

Imposter Syndrome is incredibly common.  It's kind of the opposite of the Dunning-Kruger effect and afflicts many people.

And I'm one of them.  All through my working life and career (if you can call it that) I worried that one day I would be exposed as a fraud, and all the information I was imparting would be seen for what it is, completely fake.

I thought this would leave me after retirement but no.

I now take photographs.  Not for a living but for pure enjoyment, and I like to think I am reasonably good at it.  So much so that on this very blog right here I've produced e-books and how-to guides to hopefully help anyone who may read them get better at taking pictures.

But am I qualified to do this?  Are my pictures any good?  Should anyone be listening to a word I have to say?

And before you answer any of these questions, please be aware that they are purely rhetorical. I'm not seeking any answers or reassurances as I'd only think you were being nice and not want to hurt my feelings.

No, my suffering with imposter syndrome is as strong and real as it ever was.
