The most ambitious part of learning editing after 13 tries

Context: I am not an expert, just someone trying to make Photography feel less intimidating. I wrote down what worked, what felt awkward, and what I would do differently next time.

> Tiny progress is still progress.

That line sounds cheesy, but it got me through the part where editing stopped feeling new.

This has cozy competence written all over it. I would test it for 5 days before deciding.

The editing angle is what sold me. I care less about the perfect answer and more about repeatability.

The tries angle is what sold me. I noticed the same thing in Lagos.

Love the tiny experiment energy. For me it came down to the playlist.
